Publisher's Synopsis
Pastors and leaders of the classical church -such as Augustine, Calvin, Luther, and Wesley -interpreted the Bible theologically, believing Scripture as a whole witnessed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern interpreters of the Bible questioned this premise. But in recent decades, a critical mass of theologians and biblical scholars has begun to reassert the priority of a theological reading of Scripture. The SCM Theological Commentary on the Bible enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and places. In this compelling addition to the series, esteemed theologian Robert Jenson presents a theological exegesis of Ezekiel that is well suited for Old Testament, Ezekiel, prophets, and theological interpretation courses.
