To most modern readers the book of Ezekiel is a mystery. Few can handle Ezekiel's relentless denunciations, his unconventional antics, his repetitive style, and his bewildering array of topics. This excellent commentary by Daniel I. Block makes sense of this obscure and often misunderstood prophet and demonstrates the relevance of Ezekiel's message for the church today. IZBG: Issues in Law & Medicine This is the first volume of what is currently the most convincing historical and critical interpretation of the book of Ezekiel. Block interacts with international scholarship but is not easily impressed with contemporary fads of interpretation. Block is to be congratulated on his achievement.
