The books of Ezekiel and Daniel are rich in imagery taken up afresh
in the New Testament. Echoes of Ezekiel--with its words of doom and
promises of hope, the vision of a new temple and its scroll-eating
prophet--are especially apparent in the book of Revelation. Daniel
is most notable in supplying terminology and imagery for Jesus of
Nazareth's favored self-description as "Son of man," a phrase also
found in Ezekiel and one which John the seer employs repeatedly in
describing the exalted figure of his vision on the island of
Patmos. The four beasts of Daniel find their counterparts in the
lion, ox, man and eagle of Ezekiel and Revelation. It is no wonder
these books, despite the difficulties in interpreting them, took
hold on the imagination of the early church. Over forty church
fathers are cited in the commentary on Ezekiel, some of whom are
here translated into English for the first time, but pride of place
goes to four significant extant works: the homilies of Origen and
Gregory the Great, and the commentaries of Jerome and Theodoret of
Cyr, thus bridging East and West, North and South. A similar array
of fathers are found within the commentary on Daniel. Extensive
comments derive from the works of Theodoret of Cyr, Hippolytus,
Jerome and Isho'dad of Merv and provide a wealth of insight.
Valuable commentary attributed to Ephrem the Syrian and John
Chrysostom is also found here, though the authorship of these
commentaries is indeed questioned. Michael Glerup and Kenneth
Stevenson edit this collection.
