Incisive Exegesis in a Popular Style,
By Jeremy Pierce (Syracuse, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Faithful Living in a Faithless World (Paperback)
Roy Clements has produced a masterful study of key passages from Ezekiel and Daniel, giving keen exegetical analysis yet for a popular audience. He points out many points of contact between the attitudes of Israelites just before the exile and the contemporary church in the West. Altogether, this book provides a stunning Biblical critique of "Christian culture" and popular Christian attitudes while avoiding taking these passages out of context. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to study the prophets or for anyone concerned with tendencies in the contemporary church to see ourselves as having it "all together". As Clements notes, much of the church in the West has no concept of the kind of persecution the early church underwent or the kind of judgment Israel received with the exile, and it has drastically influenced our lifestyles, lingo, and attitudes toward Christian holiness and worship. Books like this are seriously needed in today's church, and it is quite unfortunate that his other books have all gone out-of-print. Snatch this one up, before it goes the way of the others! This man is often described as the best preacher in the U.K., and this book gives credibility to such claims.
