RCS Old Testament 12: Ezekiel and Daniel

The Reformation era revolution in preaching and interpreting the Bible did not occur without keen attention to the Old Testament Scriptures. This is especially true with regard to the Hebrew prophets. Ezekiel and Daniel, replete with startling, unnerving imagery and visions, apocalyptic oracles of judgment and destruction, captivated the Reformers as they sought to understand their time and themselves through the lens of Scripture.

This commentary on the prophets Ezekiel and Daniel is a window into the biblical, theological and pastoral minds of the Reformers as they engage the details of the texts, make theological judgments and apply fresh reading of Scripture to their contemporary hearers. This volume collects the comments of the monumental figures like Luther, Calvin and Melancthon, alongside many lesser known and read thinkers. The wealth of Reformation interpretation on these books of Scripture is brought together for the first time.
