Ezekiel

A commentary that overflows with theological reflection. Longman points out that Jenson, a systematic theologian, gives us “a christological, Trinitarian, [and] ecclesial reading of the prophet from the perspective of the Nicene Creed. He well recognizes the historical context of the prophet but sometimes blurs the distinctive voice of the prophet in that setting with a New Testament/theological reflection on his message.” [Full Review]

Jenson was one of the most interesting theologians of the late 20th century. As in all BTC volumes, the focus is on thinking theologically about the text, and Jenson is among the best when it comes to that. To be read slowly!

Written by a systematic theologian, it offers insightful theological reflections on the text. Best used in conjunction with a more traditional commentary.
