Ezekiel comes to us as a stranger from a distant time
and land. Who is this man? He is a priest who, on his
thirtieth birthday, has a dazzling vision of God on a wheeled

his mysterious vision of God's chariot-throne, with its wheels
within wheels, and the vision of the valley of the dry bones."
"Otherwise his book is as forbidding in its size as the prophet

The Reformation era revolution in preaching and interpreting the
Bible did not occur without keen attention to the Old Testament
Scriptures. This is especially true with regard to the Hebrew

destruction, captivated the reformers as they sought to understand
their time and themselves ...
