Review Quotes: "This collection of essays from prominent North American and European scholars offers a much-needed critical discussion of Luke's use of the Elijah-Elisha narrative (1 Kings 16:29-2 Kings 13) ... Because it includes a diverse collection of scholarly reflections on the extent of Luke's use of the Elijah-Elisha narrative, this volume both offers well-reasoned points and counterpoints within which future studies can situate themselves and also suggests potential avenues for fruitful investigation" --Michael Kochenash, Claremont School of Theology, Religious Studies Review
