Elijah in Upper Egypt: The Apocalypse of Elijah and Early Egyptian Christianity

David Frankfurter

3.3/5 ( ratings)

This significant contribution to our knowledge of Egyptian Christianity in the late third century includes discussion of —the Apocalypse of Elijah as religious literature;—the Egyptian provenance of the document;—its social and historical context;—a complete translation.
“Frankfurter’s analysis of The Apocalypse of Elijah is a detailed and creative piece of work. His mastery of literary theory and the social-scientific method is evident throughout, and the union of the two methods in this work is impressive.” —James E. Goehring, Mary Washington College
“This book is a remarkable piece of work. Frankfurter makes a convincing case for the use of native Egyptian prophetic traditions in the Apocalypse of Elijah.” —Birger A. Pearson, University of California, Santa Barbara
