Faith in the Face of Apostasy: The Gospel according to Elijah & Elisha PB

Written for laypeople, study groups, and pastors, this study of the lives of Elijah and Elisha shows how the Old Testament accounts direct us to faith in Christ today.

Raymond Dillard's multi-faceted work on Elijah and Elisha draws out the essentially Christ-centered messages contained in these stories. He intends to nourish reader's faith and encourage worship and his book can be used in personal devotions, as a small-group study text, or as help for sermon preparation. Faith in the Face of Apostasy will help readers understand the stories in 1 and 2 Kings as part of the over-arching story of God that culminates in the life of Jesus.

Raymond B. Dillard (M.Div., Westminster Theological Seminary; Ph.D., Dropsie University) was Professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary until his death in 1993.
