Ezekiel's Visionary Temple in Babylonian Context examines evidence
from Babylonian sources to better understand Ezekiel's vision of
the future temple as it appears in chapters 40-48. Tova Ganzel
argues that Neo-Babylonian temples provide a meaningful backdrop
against which many unique features of Ezekiel's vision can and
should be interpreted. In pointing to the similarities between
Neo-Babylonian temples and the description in the book of Ezekiel,
Ganzel demonstrates how these temples served as a context for the
prophet's visions and describes the extent to which these
similarities provide a further basis for broader research of the
connections between Babylonia and the Bible. Ultimately, she argues
the extent to which the book of Ezekiel models its temple on those
of the Babylonians. Thus, this book suggests a comprehensive
picture of the book of Ezekiel's worldview and to contextualize its
visionary temple by comparing its vision to the actual temples
surrounding the Judeans in exile.
