Review Quotes: 'In his treatment of the rhetorical complexities of Ezekiel as well as in his reconstruction of the concerns of the second generation of Judaean exiles, Renz has not only built on past generations of Ezekiel scholarship, he has also defined an approach that will stimulate further investigation for many years to come.'
