Ezekiel: An Introduction and Commentary"For most Bible readers Ezekiel is almost a closed book," writes the author. "Their knowledge of him extends little further than his mysterious vision of God's chariot-throne, with its wheels within wheels, and the vision of the valley of dry bones. Otherwise his book is as forbidding in its size as the prophet himself is in the complexity of his make-up. In its structure, however, if not in its thought and language, the Book of Ezekiel has a basic simplicity, and its orderly framework makes it easy to analyze." [Back cover]. |
