Jason Gile argues that the ideas of Deuteronomy influenced Ezekiel’s response to the crisis surrounding the fall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile in significant ways, shaping how he saw Israel’s past history of rebellion against Yahweh, present situation of divine judgment, and future hope of restoration. By examining Ezekiel’s use of Deuteronomy’s language and concepts, Gile stresses that the prophet not only accepted distinctive elements of Deuteronomic theology but in some cases drew from specific texts. The main body of this volume describes Deuteronomy’s influence on Ezekiel under five main categories: Ezekiel’s language and conception of idolatry, the rise and fall of Israel in chapter 16, Ezekiel’s view of Israel’s history in chapter 20, the scattering of Israel as an image for exile, and the related motif of gathering as an image for return to the land. Gile concludes that Ezekiel’s use of its language for his messages of indictment, judgment, and hope shows that the prop

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "Vital reading for Americans and people anywhere who seek to understand what is happening 'after the fall' of the global system created by the United States" (New York Journal of Books), from the former White House aide, close confidant to President Barack Obama, and author of The World as It Is At a time when democracy in the United States is endangered as never before, Ben Rhodes spent years traveling the world to understand why. He visited dozens of countries, meeting with politicians and activists confronting the same nationalism and authoritarianism that are tearing America apart. Along the way, the Russian opposition leader he spoke with was poisoned, the Hong Kong protesters he came to know saw their movement snuffed out, and America itself reached the precipice of losing democracy before giving itself a fragile second chance. The characters and issues that Rhodes illuminates paint a picture that shows us where we are today--from Barack Obama to a ris
