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.
