The God Ezekiel Creates (The Library of Hebrew Bible / Old Testament Studies)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
This powerful collection of essays focuses on the representation of God in the Book of Ezekiel. With topics spanning across projections of God, through to the implications of these creations, the question of the divine presence in Ezekiel is explored.
Madhavi Nevader analyses Divine Sovereignty and its relation to creation, while Dexter E. Callender Jnr and Ellen van Wolde route their studies in the image of God, as generated by the character of Ezekiel. The assumption of the title is then inverted, as Stephen L. Cook writes on ‘The God that the Temple Blueprint Creates’, which is taken to its other extreme by Marvin A. Sweeney in his chapter on ‘The Ezekiel that God Creates’, and finds a nice reconciliation in Daniel I. Block’s chapter, ‘The God Ezekiel Wants Us to Meet.’ Finally, an essay from Christian biblical scholar Nathan MacDonald, offers a reflection on the essays about Ezekiel and his God.
