| | | I need a good commentary on Ezekiel
Can anyone recommend me a good book that covers Ezekiel. I am becoming enraptured with the book of Ezekiel and I want something meaty and scholarly to back me up. I would greatly appreciate your recommendations. Please no dispy stuff 
Thanks in advance.
ps. Also a good commentary on Jeremiah and Isaiah to boot.

Be aware that Calvin does not cover all of Ezekiel. Just the first 20 chapter, if I recall correctly.

Iain Duguid has a commentary on Ezekiel in the NIVAC series. NIVAC is not generally known as a scholarly production, as it is meant for the layman or pastor without any language training, but there is much serious scholarship that has gone into the background work of this volume. It is currently one of the top modern commentaries on that prophet, even though it is part of a more popular series. I have it, and I highly recommend it.

The best Ezekiel commentary in the English language is almost certainly the two volume masterpiece by Dan Block.

I echo the recommendations of Duguid, Calvin, and Fairbairn. Here are some additional suggestions (including a dispi) . . .
Allen, L. C. (2002). Vol. 28: Word Biblical Commentary : Ezekiel 1-19. Word Biblical Commentary. Dallas: Word, Incorporated. One of my OT profs offers one of the most up-to-date scholarly treatments.
Cooper, Lamar (1994) The New American Commentary: Ezekiel. Broadman. Conservative SBC series committed to inerrancy.
Eichrodt, Walther. Ezekiel: A Commentary. Philadelphia: The Westminster Press, 1970. A bit dated neo-orthodox scholarly contribution.
Feinberg, Charles Lee. The Prophecy of Ezekiel. Chicago: Moody Press, 1969. Don't disdain the dispensationalism. Feinberg was a diligent student of Hebrew.
Hengstenberg, E. W. The Prophecies of the Prophet Ezekiel Elucidated. Translated by A. C. Murphy and J. G. Murphy. Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 1869. Reprint. Minneapolis: James Publications, 1976. An old classic by an old classic.
Keil, C. F. "Ezekiel." In Commentary on the Old Testament in Ten Volumes. Vol. 9. Reprint (25 vols. in 10). Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1982. I ALWAYS touch base with K&D when I work with the OT. Dated, but vintage believing technical scholarship.
Zimmerli, Walther. A Commentary on the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel: Chapters 1-24. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1979. One of the praised volumes in a praised liberal series.

Derek Thomas' God Strengthens published by Evangelical Press is very good.

Duguid is one of my two very favorite OT commentators of the present day. He is a noted expert on Ezekial. Daniel Block is also essential. As to Jeremiah and Isaiah, I would recommend Lundbom in the Anchor Bible for the technical matters on Jeremiah, and Dearman, McConville, and Ryken for the less technical side. Of course, Calvin is magnificent, as is Keil/Delitzsch. On Isaiah, you could go broke with commentaries. I have really enjoyed Alec Motyer (get his beefier stand-alone commentary, which has much more detail than his Tyndale volume). Oswalt is good in either incarnation (NICOT and NIVAC). Older commentaries include Calvin, J.A. Alexander and Keil/Delitzsch.

I was beat to it but at Whitefield Theological Seminary there is an entire class of the book of Ezekiel and the books recommended are, Ezekiel by William Greenhill and Commentary on Ezekiel by Patrick Fairbairn. If these were already recommended I guess they must be good.

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely? | |
