The novel describes real life situations that could very possibly happened in that time period. If this story would have been nonfiction it most likely been a biography about Elijah. Another reason on why I think this is historical fiction is because when I picked this novel we could only pick a historical fiction novel.

Why was Elijah able to defeat Baal’s priests in his duel with them (1 Kings, chapter 18)?
