Customer Reviews

Careful, insightful commentary

Brings to life again the ministry and message of one of the most neglected Old Testament prophets. Shine light upon one of the most fascinating chapters of ancient Israel's history. A verse by verse commentary. Fully discusses the origin and composition and other knotty problems related to the prophet's life and work. "Ezekial represents in himself a tension between his priestly heritage and his prophetic charisma, between the tendency to conserve the past and the profound immersion in a present that force d a complete reorientation of Judah's religion..." this is a careful, perceptive, illuminating commentary, worthy of its author's high reputation and of the superb quality of the series of which it is a part.
