Segment 10: God Warns the People
Presenter: B. Davie Napier
Elijah spoke out on the two major issues of Israelite prophecy: corruption
of the worship of God by pagan practices and social injustice. In the contest
with the prophets of Baal, the two altars show that people want to worship God and pagan local gods as well. The slaughter of the prophets is coherent with the urgency of the command to break totally and radically with false gods. The role of the prophet-minister is to work to see the single altar in the church.
