    Adversus MarcionemLate Antiquity · Latin

    Old Testament prophet whose healing miracles are repeatedly compared with Christ's, to argue for a single Christ/Creator.

    On which day, if Elisha the prophet too restored to life the dead son of the Shunammite, you see, Pharisee, and you, Marcion, that it was of old the Creator's to do well on the sabbaths, to free a soul, not to destroy it — that Christ brought in nothing new which is not of the form, the gentleness, the mercy, the proclamation too of the Creator.
    book 4
    But if Elisha, the prophet of the Creator, cleansed the single leper Naaman the Syrian out of so many Israelite lepers, neither does this make for a diversity of Christ, as though in this way the better — in that a stranger cleanses an Israelite leper whom his own lord could not cleanse — the Syrian the more easily cleansed signifying, through the nations, of those who bristled with the seven stai …

    The Rights of War and PeaceRenaissance · English

    Hebrew prophet cited as an example of not imposing the Mosaic law on a foreigner.

    chapter 8
    It may not perhaps be amiss to cite, in this place, the message sent by the men of Jabesh Gilead to the Ammonites, by whom they were besieged, and also that of the prophet Elisha, and at the same time to mention the conduct of Valerius Laevinus, who boasted of having killed Pyrrhus.
    chapter 31

    LettersLate Antiquity · Greek

    Prophet whose servant Gehazi fell through greed.

    And where is the company of Gehazi with Elisha, when for love of money he drew leprosy upon himself?
    letter 42

    StromataLate Antiquity · Greek

    Prophet cited among those who endured hardship while proclaiming the kingdom.

    for endurance and faith, in goatskins and sheepskins and woven camel's hair, they went about, proclaiming the kingdom of Christ—I mean Elijah and Elisha, Ezekiel and John, the prophets.
    book 4

    Adversus JudaeosLate Antiquity · Latin

    Prophet whose miracle with a floating axe head is read as a type of the cross.

    And so Elisha, having taken wood and cast it into that place where the iron had been sunk, immediately it floated up, and the wood was sunk, which the sons of the prophets received.
