Ezekiel 38-48: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries)

The "Commentary on Ezekiel's Final Chapters" is a groundbreaking work that offers a fresh interpretation of the final sections of the Hebrew book of Ezekiel, chapters 38-48.

This comprehensive commentary provides an accessible translation and interpretation of these challenging texts, offering insights into the end-time assault of Gog of Magog on Israel and a visionary tour of God's utopian temple.

The author, Stephen L.

Cook, is a renowned scholar in the field of biblical studies and has written several books on the subject.

This commentary honors the legacy of Moshe Greenberg, a previous Anchor Yale Bible commentator on Ezekiel, by incorporating insights from traditional Jewish commentators such as Rashi, Kimhi, and Eliezer of Beaugency.

The book devotes special attention to the Zadokite idea of an indwelling, anthropomorphic "body" of God, and the enlivening effect on people and land of that indwelling.

This is an important contribution to the field of biblical studies and is sure to be a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the final chapters of the Hebrew Bible.
