The Book of Ezekiel: Chapters 25-48 by Daniel I. Block

From the Publisher

This work completes Daniel Block's two-volume commentary on the book of Ezekiel. The result of twelve years of studying this difficult section of Scripture, this volume, like the one on chapters 1-24, provides an excellent discussion of the background of Ezekiel and offers a verse-by-verse exposition that makes clear the message of this obscure and often misunderstood prophet. Block also shows that Ezekiel's ancient wisdom and vision are still very much needed as we enter the twenty-first century.

Interpretation

"This conclusion to Block's work on Ezekiel is by any measure a substantial contribution.... Block's explications of the text's "Nature and Design" are both learned and highly readable. His lively and wide-ranging discussion of the gog pericope provides an especially engaging treatment of this controversial text. The extensive footnotes should prove helpful to anyone undertaking further research.... Block's achievement is impressive in producing a commentary that will be a useful reference for all scholars while also serving the needs of a specifically evangelical readership."

Expository Times

The commentary is itself a magnificent achievement, full of information and exegetical insights, well worth reading and pondering by fellow exegetes, whatever their theological hue or ideological commitment.

"Ground-breaking. Like is companion volume, this one demonstrates an awareness of and an engagement with all the significant primary and secondary literature pertaining to this often enigmatic composition and without exception arrives at sound conclusions that do honor to the Book of Ezekiel as sacred Scripture.... If one can acquire only one commentary on Ezekiel, this should be it.... Block's contribution will be the standard for many years to come."
