Reviews

Evans's timely research presents a solid, systematic, and comprehensive analysis of the [recognition formula] in Ezekiel. Biblical scholars and Ezekiel scholars in particular will find this book useful for examining biblical formulas, inner-biblical exegesis, and evaluating Ezekiel's theological message. -Tova Ganzel, Review of Biblical Literature

This welcome contribution to Ezekiel studies presents as a comprehensive study of the [Recognition Formula] in Ezekiel. The main argument is highly stimulating and the consequence of these ideas produces a substantial theological conclusion. -Andrew Langley, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament The book provides a useful examination of issues related to the recognition formula in its various forms and contexts. The charts in chapter 3 are particularly clear and helpful. Evans addresses a wide range of questions that confront any effort to reach a definitive conclusion as to the meaning and role of the recognition formula in Ezekiel: Why is the formula used so much more often in Ezekiel than elsewhere? What exactly does it mean to know that [Yahweh is] Yahweh ? Does this knowledge differ, depending on who (Israel or the nations) comes to know it? Does the knowledge differ depending on how one gains it (by being blessed or by being killed)? Finally, how ought we to construe divergences between uses of the recognition formula in Exodus and in Ezekiel? -Julie Galambush, Bulletin for Biblical Research Evans's timely research presents a solid, systematic, and comprehensive analysis of the [recognition formula] in Ezekiel. Biblical scholars and Ezekiel scholars in particular will find this book useful for examining biblical formulas, inner-biblical exegesis, and evaluating Ezekiel's theological message. -Tova Ganzel, Review of Biblical Literature
