The Oxford Handbook of Ezekiel provides introductions to the major trends in the scholarship of Ezekiel, one of the Bible's most debated books, from many of the leading scholars in the field. After an introductory overview of these trends, each essay discusses an important element in the scholarly engagement with the book. Several essays discuss the history of the text (e.g., historical context, redactional layers, text criticism, use of other Israelite and near eastern traditions). Others focus on key themes in the book (e.g., temple, priesthood, law, politics), while still others look at the book's reception history and contextual interpretations (e.g., art, Christian use, gender approaches, postcolonial approaches, trauma theory). Taken together, these essays demonstrate the vibrancy of Ezekiel research in the twenty-first century.

These essays provide a panoramic view of current thinking on biblical texts that play important roles in contemporary struggles for social justice. Here, from the hands of an ecumenical array of leading biblical scholars, are fresh and compelling resources for thinking biblically about what justice is and what it demands.
