- Summary:
- "Despite a sense of failure, Elijah's struggle against the paganizing regime of King Ahab and queen, Jezebel, managed to save monotheism from eclipse, and in so doing alter the course of human history. This work further proposes that the tale presented by the Bible is more than an account of an ancient battle between two historic figures"-- Provided by publisher.
