{"product_id":"9781589831360","title":"Ezekiel's Hierarchical World: Wrestling with a Tiered Reality","description":"This collection, inspired by the Seminar on Theological Perspectives on the Book of Ezekiel held as a part of the annual meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature, focuses on the unusually strong concentration of the book on hierarchy and, despite some protests to the contrary in and out of the academe, its continued relevance to modern study and practice. The 12 essays and two responses, lead by an introduction to the thinking in Ezekial's book, include topics such as the history of Old Testament priesthood and priesthood in exile, the book as a literary construct, creation and land, the implications in the book that hierarchy is a positive choice and response, the ecojustice of Ezekial's judgment oracles, the book's relationship with imperial conquest, ontological and epistemological hierarchy, and retribution. The responses address Ezekial scholarship in the turn of the millennium and new trends in the field.
