After Ezekiel - Essays on the Reception of a Difficult Prophet (Hardcover, New)

This title includes essays on the reception history of the book of "Ezekiel", arising from the work of the SBL section "Theological Perspectives on the Book of Ezekiel". "Ezekiel" has long been considered the most difficult of all the prophetic books to understand. The prophet's bizarre visions, extraordinary behaviour, and extravagant imagery have perplexed and fascinated readers for more than 2,500 years. The prophet has had an impact not only on theology and the life of Church and Synagogue, but also on culture, art and architecture. The volume brings together 15 new essays on "Ezekiel's" impact by leading scholars, and they focus on a range of different parts of the book and periods of reception. Historically they cover the reception of "Ezekiel" from the New Testament to the present day, and include both Jewish and Christian readings of the book. Methodologically, they offer a wide sample of the different approaches to reception/history of interpretation current in contemporary biblical studies. Over the last 30 years this pioneering series has established an unrivaled reputation for cutting-edge international scholarship in Biblical Studies and has attracted leading authors and editors in the field. The series takes many original and creative approaches to its subjects, including innovative work from historical and theological perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and more recent developments in cultural studies and reception history.
