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.
