AB 22: Ezekiel 1 - 20

A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.

In Ezekiel 1-20, the first of two volumes of commentary on the
Scripture attributed to the third major Old Testament prophet, Moshe Greenberg
uses accessible prose to explain Ezekiel’s ecstatic, erratic, almost
incomprehensible otherworldly visions and prophecies. One of this
century’s most respected biblical scholars, Greenberg translates the
text, identifies the critical issues raised by the book, and offers an
impressively balanced, thoroughly holistic interpretation of Ezekiel.

Ezekiel 1-20 rigorously engages the biblical text with all the tools of
historical critical analysis. Drawing upon the rich history of Jewish and
Christian interpretation, Greenberg employs ancient and modern sources in his
elucidation of this most difficult prophetic book. Only his second and final
volume, Ezekiel 21-48, can complete the most authoritative commentary on
Ezekiel.

This is a very interesting commentary on the book of Ezekiel. Greenberg is " well-aware of what he is trying to accomplish as a commentator (see pp. 18-27).
He advocates what he calls a holistic approach, which basically treats the
Masoretic Text as it stands and as a whole. Very stimulating. - Tremper " Longman
