Ezekiel

"e;For most Bible readers Ezekiel is almost a closed book,"e; writes John Taylor. "e;Their knowledge of him extends little further than his mysterious vision of God's chariot-throne, with its wheels within wheels, and the vision of the valley of the dry bones."e;"e;Otherwise his book is as forbidding in its size as the prophet himself is in the complexity of his make-up,"e; Taylor goes on. "e;In its structure, however, if not in its thought and language, the book of Ezekiel has a basic simplicity, and its orderly framework makes it easy to analyze."e;Taylor, in the introduction to this analysis of Ezekiel, sketches a portrait of the prophet and his times, carefully placing the book and its prophecies within their historical settings.

He also provides an overview of the books themes and a clear outline of its contents. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.
