Description of  Ezekiel s Sign-Acts: Methods and Interpretation (Beihefte zur Zeitschrift f r die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, 562)

3111519732 rar The Ezekiel passages describing the instructions for, and dramatization of, divine messages (Ezekiel 3-5 12 24 37) are among the most bizarre in the Hebrew Bible. The prophet is commanded to embody his message of judgment to Jerusalem, and these actions clarify the oracles they surround. Yet, these sign-acts are frequently overlooked within Ezekiel studies, which tend to focus on the books strange visions and controversial oracles. This volume addresses the growing diversity in approaches in Ezekiel studies by inviting international senior and junior scholars to focus on the texts concerning Ezekiels sign-acts. It aims to redirect scholarly attention to these often-ignored texts, which stand so central to understanding the nature of prophecy as well as the overall book of Ezekiel.
