This study places the Elisha material firmly within the narrative of Genesis-2 Kings, and examines the effect these stories have on the reader's perception of the role of the 'prophet'. Using the narratological theories of Mieke Bal, David Jobling and others, Bergen shows that the Elisha stories present prophetism in a negative light, confining prophets to a rather limited scope of action in the narrative world.The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament StudiesProphetsProphets.222.54092Bergen Wesley J1484523MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782221003321Elisha and the end of prophetism3819337UNINA
