LIFE AND TIMES OF ELIJAH AND ELISHA: STUDY LESSON OUTLINE

About 25 years ago, I put together this study outline covering I Kings 17-II Kings 10. To add more interest, I coupled the characters and events in this Old Testament history with those in the New Testament who shared some similarities. You may find it useful for your own individual or group studies.
