The Reformation era revolution in preaching and interpreting the
Bible did not occur without keen attention to the Old Testament
Scriptures. This is especially true with regard to the Hebrew
prophets. Ezekiel and Daniel, replete with startling, unnerving
imagery and visions, apocalyptic oracles of judgment and
destruction, captivated the reformers as they sought to understand
their time and themselves through the lens of Scripture. Equally,
these prophetic books underscored the covenantal promises to God's
people and the hope of restoration, which the Reformers understood
to be the righteousness of Christ made available in faith.
Reformation commentary on the prophets Ezekiel and Daniel are
windows into the biblical, theological and pastoral minds of the
reformers as they engage the details of the texts, make theological
judgments and apply fresh reading of Scripture to their
contemporary hearers. Familiar passages, such as Ezekiel's dazzling
vision of the wheels, the building of the temple, or Daniel's four
beasts, are given new layers and textures. This volume collects the
comments of the monumental figures like Luther, Calvin and
Melancthon, alongside many lesser known and read thinkers, such as
Heinrich Bullinger, Hans Denck, Giovanni Diodati, Johann Gerhard,
John Mayer, Matthew Mead, Johann Oecolampadius, Jakob Raupius,
Johann Wigand and Andrew Willet. Several beloved English Puritans
are included as well: Richard Baxter, John Bunyan, Thomas Manton
and John Owen. The wealth of Reformation interpretation on these
books of Scripture is brought together for the first time.
