This collection examines the allusions to the Elijah- Elisha narrative in the gospel of Luke. The volume presents the case for a “maximalist” view, which holds that the Elijah-Elisha narrative had a dominant role in the composition of Luke 7 and 9, put forward by Thomas L. Brodie and John Shelton, with critical responses to this thesis by Robert Derrenbacker, Alex Damm, F. Gerald Downing, David Peabody, Dennis MacDonald and Joseph Verheyden.Taken together the contributions to this volume provide fascinating insights into the composition of the gospel of Luke, and the editorial processes involved in its creation. Contributions cover different approaches to the text, including issues of intertextuality and rhetorical-critical examinations. The distinguished contributors and fast-paced debate make this book an indispensable addition to any theological library.

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
