Lamentations and Ezekiel for Everyone

Rate this book
In the Old Testament for Everyone series, Old Testament scholar John Goldingay addresses Scripture from Genesis to Malachi in such a way that even the most challenging passages are explained simply and concisely. The series is perfect for daily devotions, group study, or personal visits with the Bible.

In this volume on Lamentations and Ezekiel, Goldingay explores these two prophetic books. Lamentations is considered one of the most tragic books in the Bible, with graphic and blunt language about the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Babylonians and the people s feelings of loss and despair amid God s silence. Ezekiel contains the prophet s thoughts after a tumultuous political time that saw many taken away from their homes and sent into exile. Where is God, Ezekiel asked, and what must we do for God to return?

(reviewing the Ezekiel section)

From the "For Everyone" series and following the program: a translation of a section of a text, some kind of modern story, a basic interpretation of the section in context, and an application when appropriate.

The Ezekiel addition to the series is serviceable and performs its purposes admirably: the author's translation is good, the interpretations are sound, and most applications understandable and effective.

A good basic level commentary to help a reader understand the text.
