Exalting Jesus in Ezekiel by Landon Dowden

5.0

I found this commentary to be accessible and it enriched my time in God’s Word. I am coming away with a greater appreciation for Ezekiel’s message and for his commitment to the Lord. Ezekiel’s life challenges me in my walk with Christ. I appreciated that the commentator refrained from speculation in the prophetic parts of Ezekiel that have not yet come to pass. I don’t think it’s helpful to try to figure out who, where, when or how, but rather to focus on what we can know today from the text. I highly recommend spending time in this book of the Bible and supplementing with this commentary! 

Overview of the series: The Christ-centered Exposition series is intended for pastors, parents, teachers, small-group leaders and student ministers. While not every commentary is a verse-by-verse exegesis, the goal is to explain the text carefully and rightly. It is not given to wild allegory or typology. It affirms that the Bible is a Christ-centered book; in other words, the Old and New Testament are cohesive, conveying a united message of redemption through Jesus Christ. 

Each chapter begins with an outline and introduction. Then the biblical text is broken up into sections and taught in a pastoral manner. The chapter ends with questions for reflection and discussion making it ideal for group study.
