About This Book

The volume offers a clear, chapter-by-chapter exposition of the prophet's writings, beginning with his background and call and moving through warnings of Jerusalem's downfall, oracles against neighbouring nations, and visions of national restoration. It interprets striking symbolic scenes, such as the vision of divine glory and the vision of revived bones, and treats theological themes including individual responsibility, divine judgment, conversion, and the messianic kingdom. Practical issues of cult and community are examined in discussions of the sanctuary, priesthood, ritual, and land allotment, while concluding sections synthesize the prophet's hope for a renewed theocracy and restored people.
