This powerful collection of essays focuses on the representation of
God in the Book of Ezekiel. With topics spanning across projections
of God, through to the implications of these creations, the
question of the divine presence in Ezekiel is explored. Madhavi
Nevader analyses Divine Sovereignty and its relation to creation,
while Dexter E. Callender Jnr and Ellen van Wolde route their
studies in the image of God, as generated by the character of
Ezekiel. The assumption of the title is then inverted, as Stephen
L. Cook writes on 'The God that the Temple Blueprint Creates',
which is taken to its other extreme by Marvin A. Sweeney in his
chapter on 'The Ezekiel that God Creates', and finds a nice
reconciliation in Daniel I. Block's chapter, 'The God Ezekiel Wants
Us to Meet.' Finally, two essays from Christian biblical scholar
Nathan MacDonald and Jewish biblical scholar, Rimon Kasher, offer a
reflection on the essays about Ezekiel and his God.

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.
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.
The book begins with a thorough introduction to the main critical
questions that arise in connection with the book of Ezekiel. It
covers the historical-critical agenda but also includes newer
approaches and questions, such as psychological issues and the
notion that Ezekiel should be regarded as a 'character' within the
book. The emphasis is on the insight that many different kinds of
questions may illumine a text like Ezekiel. The commentary treats
each of the chapters of the book of Ezekiel in turn. The
chapter-by-chapter commentary summarizes the main themes of the
chapter and raises the main critical issues that arise in relation
to the chapter, before proceeding to detailed exegesis.
