Elijah and Prophets of Baal | Bible & Archaeology

Описание: This week, Dr. Bob Cargill and Jordan Jones discuss 1 Kings 18 and Elijah's battle with the prophets of Baal! Are there hidden meanings in Elijah's taunts of the Baal? Was there supposed to be an altar on Mt. Carmel? Is this story monotheistic? Join us as we walk through this story and poke some of the corners of the text that often get skipped over in this story.
