Top Highlights

“Do Ezekiel’s message and text here intend an imminent historical journey of his exilic community to reclaim the land of Israel? Yes, apparently. Do Ezekiel’s message and text here intend a final act of God to transform the whole condition of Israel’s existence? Yes, apparently.” (Page 284)

“Or we may read that promise according to its eschatological—and so also christological and ecclesiological—references. Christian theology must choose the second.” (Page 284)

“The Lord spoke by Ezekiel, and in Christ’s resurrection he has acted on what he said” (Page 285)

“to be ‘cut off’ is to be in the grave, cut off from life, cut off indeed from being” (Page 283)

“first the body (Ezek. 37:7–8), then the ‘breath of life’ (37:9–10)” (Page 282)

Jenson brings to the interpretation of Ezekiel years of theological study, a deeply Trinitarian vision, and an ability to read the Bible as Christian scripture.

—Gilbert Meilaender, professor of theology, Valparaiso University

Here is a faithful Christocentric reading of Ezekiel that sits happily alongside this Jewish reader’s cherished volume of Moshe Greenberg’s commentary on Ezekiel. Jenson’s Christocentric reading is also a deep reading of this text, drawing up dimensions of form and force and meaning that will also serve the rabbinic reader: not because of any leveling or syncretism, but because, once drawn up, these dimensions may then be drawn forward in their different ways by the differing communities of rabbinic and Christian readers.

—Peter Ochs, Edgar M. Bronfman Professor of Modern Judaic Studies, University of Virginia
