Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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 throne; an odd prophet who engages in outlandish street theater and speaks for God on international affairs; and a seer who paints murals of apocalyptic doom and then of a restored temple bursting with emblems of paradise. Should we take this literally, reading the text as we read the news or a history textbook Or is there a better way Christopher Wright masterfully opens our eyes to see and understand the message of Ezekiel.
