Ezekiel's Rhetoric: Ancient Near Eastern Building Protocol and Shame and Honor as the Keys in Identifying the Builder of the Eschatological Temple

Ezekiel's Rhetoric: Ancient Near Eastern Building Protocol and Shame and Honor as the Keys in Identifying the Builder of the Eschatological Temple

  • Technical
  • Brian Peterson

How does information about building practices from the ancient Near East support an interpretation of the book of Ezekiel? Peterson's thesis is that Ezekiel deliberately omits some key human elements from ANE temple-building practices in his temple vision of Ezekiel 40:1-Ezekiel 43:11, in an effort to help Israel to realize the nature of their sin. He examines biblical and ANE temple-building practices and how they compare and contrast with how they are presented in Ezekiel.

(Separation of sin and sinner?) Sin is intensely personal in that it manifests itself in the denial of Jesus Christ as Master and Lord. Thomas R. Schreiner
