The Book of Ezekiel

By John Skinner

The Book of Ezekiel is the third of the Latter Prophets in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and one of the major prophetic books in the Christian Bible, where it follows Isaiah and Jeremiah. According to the book itself, it records six visions of the prophet Ezekiel, exiled in Babylon, during the 22 years from 593 to 571 BC, although it is the product of a long and complex history and does not necessarily preserve the very words of the prophet. The Book of Ezekiel has played a significant role in both Jewish and Christian traditions. It is considered one of the most important prophetic books in the Bible, offering a profound understanding of God's character, his relationship with humanity, and his plan for the future. The Book of Ezekiel is often challenging to read due to its complex symbolism and apocalyptic language. John Skinner (1744-1816) stands as a pivotal figure in the history of the Scottish Episcopal Church. His life and work were marked by a commitment to religious scholarship, pastoral care, and the resilience of his faith in the face of political and social upheaval.
