However

Other prophets like Abraham and Samuel have been given much attention with some noting that they deserve the titles of being the ideal and real prophets. Relate to comments from the likes of R. A. B Ewbank on the Abrahamic theory.
Samuel being the first proohet in a well established nation Israel thereby being a multi functionary prophet like no other. Comment on the Evolutionary theory.
[Support your arguments]
Critical candidates will consider the view that Moses and Elijah were legendary rather ideal or real figures.
Archaeological evidence attest that due to lack of tangible evidence for their existence in the material world like for example Moses, the fact that he once walked and lived in Egypt is controversial. Although Some scholars wouod like to argue that Pharaohs of the time can be found in their tombs,  Moses' issue raises debates.
Again, the way Elijah vanished from the earth has left some scholars questioning whether he was really an ideal or real figure thereby arguing that he belongs to folklore or folktales out of this world.

More points can be added.

A balanced essay attains higher grades.
