Ezekiel
Joseph Blenkinsopp
Westminster John Knox Press, 1990 - 242 pages
This
major work explores the message and meaning of Ezekiel, one of the
longest and most difficult of the prophetic books. An introduction
explains what is involved in reading a prophetic book, and how the book
of Ezekiel was put together and structured. It looks at the form of
speech used and discusses Ezekiel's author and those who transmitted,
edited, and enlarged upon what he had to say. The destruction of
Jerusalem is a primary concern, and attention is focused on the
political and social situation of the time in order to provide a clear
understanding of the political and religious crisis facing the prophet's
contemporaries.Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and
Preaching is a distinctive resource for those who interpret the Bible in
the church. Planned and written specifically for teaching and preaching
needs, this critically acclaimed biblical commentary is a major
contribution to scholarship and ministry.
