Living, as we do, in an age of religious pluralism, the problem that occupied the prophet Elijah may seem irrelevant to many in our own time and culture. For some, it appears far more important that the people of Israel believed in a god than whether the God they worshipped was the Lord of Israel or Baal. The mutual respect for the beliefs of others—and the religious toleration and freedom we rightly cherish—creates a real tension: on the one hand, the desire to witness to the truth of one’s own faith, and on the other, the obligation to respect those whose beliefs differ from our own. This tension can lead, implicitly or explicitly, to the claim that no single religion can be the sole possessor or guardian of the truth. Instead, all religions may be viewed as humanity’s varied attempts to reach toward and encounter the divine. Yet Elijah reminds us that the God we believe in profoundly shapes the persons we are and the persons we become. According to our Christian faith, the God revealed in Jesus Christ is the One in whom human beings come to the fullness of their humanity and, in doing so, are ennobled—becoming living images of the God they worship. And so the question becomes: Are we—like Elijah—revealing to the world the God we believe in through the lives we lead? Or does something in us obscure, distort, or even warp others’ perception of who God truly is?
