Abstract

This publication referring to the research program of the sources of anthropology and Christian pedagogy is designed to show the prophet Elijah as an alter ego of modern man – tired of post-modern era, age-related changes, often lost in the intricacies and depths of the virtual world, who has to live in the reality of post-Christian Europe, in the war of cultures, religions and civilizations. Elijah, who, despite the crises (depression) remains unbending faith in the true God, and in the end does not die (is transferred to heaven) can be the patron of “the exhausted” with postmodernism. The description of the psychological character of Elijah connecting the reality of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Bible is based on the research of outstanding contemporary scholars of the Italian language area: Bruno Secondin and Gianfranco Ravasi.
