Hard Words for Desperate Times

“Insightful and pithy! Threading together the insights of speakers from diverse educational backgrounds, this work shakes the metaphorical dust off this sixth-century prophet and walks the reader through Ezekiel in a series of meditations to help us apply the words of this oft-misunderstood book to a modern setting. This book is a must read for those who want to gain an appreciation for Ezekiel’s message for a modern audience.”


—Brian Peterson, Associate Professor of the Hebrew Bible, Lee University, author of Ezekiel in Context





“Consistently thoughtful, frequently illuminating, and occasionally downright provocative, this series of meditations on Ezekiel bears witness to one Christian community’s sustained engagement with some hard words of prophecy from the Scriptures of Israel. Now with the addition of keen questions for reflection, it has been reshaped into a gift to other communities of faith who may wish to take up the same worthy challenge.”


—Daniel R. Driver, Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Atlantic School of Theology
