In "Ezekiel 1-20", the first of two volumes of commentary on the Scripture attributed to the third major Old Testament prophet, Moshe Greenberg, uses accessible prose to explain Ezekiel's ecstatic, erratic, almost incomprehensible otherworldly visions and prophecies. One of this century's most respected biblical scholars, Greenberg translates the text, identifies the critical issues raised by the book, and offers an impressively balanced, thoroughly holistic interpretation of Ezekiel."Ezekiel 1-20" rigorously engages the biblical text with all the tools of historical critical analysis. Drawing upon the rich history of Jewish and Christian interpretation, Greenberg employs ancient and modern sources in his elucidation of this most difficult prophetic book. Only his second and final volume, "Ezekiel 21-48", can complete the most authoritative commentary on Ezekiel.

Professor Greenberg contributed 2 volumes to the anchor bible commentary series, without quite finishing Ezekiel. His comments are very well considered and are at once exigetical and devotional. His deep appreciation for the text and his humility before the challenge of the prophet's message come through on every page. As a laymen using this a resource for teaching adult Sunday School, I found this to be accessible and an invaluable aid to understanding the message of Ezekiel.
