The Book of Ezekiel and its Influence

Bag om The Book of Ezekiel and its Influence

The Book of the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel (6th century B.C.E.) is a book of forceful language and impressive images. Its message is often clear, sometimes mysterious. The book had great impact in Jewish and early Christian literature as well as in western art. This book deals with the intentions of the book of Ezekiel, but also focuses on its use by subsequent writers, editors or artists. It traces Ezekiel''s influence in Jesus'' teaching about the Kingdom of God, in Paul, the Gospels, and Revelation, and also shows that Ezekiel''s imagery, via Jewish mysticism, influenced the visionary art of William Blake. Presenting contributions from leading biblical scholars in Oxford and Leiden, based on their unique collaborative research, this book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars working in the field of biblical studies, including those studying the Hebrew Bible, its early versions, ''inter-testamental'' Judaism, New Testament and Early Christianity, and the reception of Biblical literature in later centuries.
