Christopher J.H. Wright masterfully opens our eyes to see and understand the message of Ezkiel. Ezekiel's vision of the glory of God - its departure and return - is first set within Israel's history and then in the culmination of God's promises in Christ. Embedded in the pattern of the strange, the bizarre and the wonderful is a word that still speaks to God's people today.

About this product

Product Information

Ezekiel comes to us as a stranger from a distant time and land. Who is this priest who, on his thirtieth birthday, has a dazzling vision of God on a wheeled throne? Who is this odd prophet who engages in outlandish street theater and speaks for God on international affairs? Who is this seer who paints murals of apocalyptic doom and then of a restored temple bursting with emblems of paradise? Are we bound to take this literally, reading prophet and newspaper side by side? Or is there a better way? Christopher Wright is a proven interpreter and communicator of the Old Testament, and in this commentary he masterfully opens our eyes to see and understand the message of Ezekiel. Ezekiel's vision of the glory of God--its departure and return--is first set within Israel's history and then in the culmination of God's promises in Christ. Embedded in the pattern of the strange, the bizarre and the wonderful is a word that still speaks to God's people today.

I found the anti-dispensational rants tiresome
Wright's commentary is plenty long and there are many good paragraphs. The strongest points in the book are his spiritual insights. That being said, three weaknesses really got my goat: 1) Despite repetition, the work is not "verse by verse". He simply skips what he doesn't understand. The last part of the book (covering the temple) is particularly skimpy. 2) He approaches the text from a sermonizing, New Testament viewpoint. The author goes off on rants about the church, our society, and about the spiritual life of Christians yet neglects the detail of Ezekiel. 3) The worst feature however, is the heavily amillennial bias. His hostility toward dispensational scholarship sneaks into every page. In places you wouldn't know this was supposed to be a commentary on Ezekiel as he turns the book into a forum for bashing his theological enemies. I eventually found 368 pages of such opinions tiresome as I was looking for an analysis of Ezekiel rather than an interpretation for today. Here I felt a vindication of the old adage, "It's the smallest rooster in the hen-house that crows the loudest"!Read full review
