Transforming Visions: Transformations of Text, Tradition, and Theology in Ezekiel

This volume includes ten essays that move Ezekiel's creative reuse of older materials to the foreground of discussion. The essays highlight the transformation of earlier texts, traditions, and theology in Ezekiel. They explore the diverse ways that Ezekiel reshapes Israel's legal texts, rituals, oracles against foreign nations, royal ideology, conception of the individual, remembrance of the past, and hope for the future.The essays in this volume open the doors to a wide-ranging discussion of the various dimensions of the book of Ezekiel, its transformation of text, traditions, and theology, and indeed its transformation of its readers. The work concludes by noting the subsequent transformation of Ezekiel in scribal transmission and in the New Testament.
