Elijah: His Life and Times is a book written by William Milligan in 1888 that provides a comprehensive account of the life and times of the prophet Elijah. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Elijah's life and the second part examining the historical and cultural context of his time. Milligan draws on various biblical texts to provide a detailed description of Elijah's life, including his dramatic confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel and his ascension to heaven in a whirlwind. The author also explores Elijah's character and personality, examining how his faith and courage enabled him to stand up for God in a time when many had turned away from Him. In the second part of the book, Milligan provides a historical and cultural background to Elijah's time, discussing the religious and political climate of Israel during the reigns of Ahab and Jezebel. He also examines the role of prophets in ancient Israel and how they were perceived by the people. Overall, Elijah: His Life and Times is a scholarly and insightful book that offers a detailed exploration of one of the most significant figures in the Old Testament. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in biblical studies or the history and culture of ancient Israel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
