Daniel C. Matt is one of the most knowledgeable, intelligent, and versatile scholars of Jewish history, so I had no doubt that his Becoming Elijah: Prophet of Transformation would be a worthy read. Matt traces the history of one of Judaism’s most enigmatic figures, from his sudden appearance in the Book of Kings to the semi-divine hero of Jewish folklore and mysticism.
Matt is uniquely qualified to take us on this journey, and he does so entertainingly and with great skill.
