The Book of Ezekiel, 2 vols. (The New International Commentary on the Old Testament | NICOT)

To many modern readers the prophecies of Ezekiel are a mystery. In his his two-volume study of the whole book of Ezekiel, Daniel Block seeks to answer the questions that contemporary readers bring to the text by examining the language, the message, and the methods of this obscure and often misunderstood Hebrew prophet. The result of 12 years of study, these volumes provides an excellent discussion of the background of Ezekiel and offers a verse-by-verse exposition of each literary/prophetic unit in Ezekiel that not only makes clear the prophet’s message to his original readers but also shows that Ezekiel’s ancient wisdom and vision are still very much needed by the church in the 21st century.
