Elijah in the Message of Paul the Apostle: Typology of the Elijah Figure in Paul's Missionary Zeal for the Gospel
View through CrossRef
The biblical stories about Elijah (1 Kgs 17:1–2 Kgs 2:18), pitting Yahweh’s devotees against Baal’s idolaters in an intensifying struggle, constitute the first radical endeavor to purify the religious cult of the Northern Kingdom of biblical Israel. In this regard, Elijah becomes a predecessor of the prophetic movement that includes figures such as Amos, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and at the same time the prototype of religious zealousness: an important component of the Jewish Second Temple messianic notions focusing on the eschatological restoration of Israel, including a “remnant” theology. The goal of this paper is to research and evaluate the Elijah typology in Paul’s message in Romans 11, in the context of his mission among the non-Jewish nations (ethnē).
Keywords: Elijah, Paul the Apostle, zeal for God, Romans, Galatians, Second Temple Judaism.
