Crisis in the life of prophet Elijah
No full textThe Old Testament presents prophet Elijah as an uncompromising defender of Yahwism who
saves the Israeli nation from religious syncretism prevailing in the times of king Ahab.
Although Elijah left no written records, the role he played in the history of ancient Israel makes
him one of the most remarkable figures in the Old Testament. The greatness of Elijah can be
measured not only by his accomplishments in defending Yahwism but also by the ability to experience and overcome personal crises.
The author begins his paper with a short analysis of the term ’crisis’, based on the Old and
New Testament as well as apocryphal literature. Then, a biography of prophet Elijah is presented
followed by the analysis of Elijah’s religious activity, taking into account the role of personal crises
in his life. The author ends the paper by emphasizing the universal dimension of Elijah’s religious
experience

Bedtime Stories for Children: Aesop's Fables: Illustrated Fables for Kids
No full textHere is an 8" x 10" softbound print-upon-demand book of 116 numbered fables on 147 pages for reading to young children. The cover is a colorful, simple rendition of TH. The illustrations inside are simple, black-and-white, computer generated, and full-page. I count ten of them. The beginning T of C includes the number of each fable as well as its page. It may be a comment on our present situation that the first element after statements of rights and a "legal notice" is a disclaimer. The first word about Aesop is that we do not know his last name. The introduction goes on to some generalized statements about whether Aesop created many of these stories and why they were sometimes written in complex language. The introduction acknowledges Laura Gibbs as "a known author who has successfully been able to translate Aesop's fables into a children's guide" (11). I myself was surprised that, when we come to fables, the first fable told is an anecdote of Aesop talking with ferrymen. The morals tend to run to several sentences.Elijah Da Vinc
