While the Interpretation series generally does feature some contetxtual, often historical-critical commentary, it generally does so with a view to application, since it's designed for pastors.
Well, Blenkinsopp is the author here, and there's not a whole lot of application, but there is a whole lot of historical-critical comments.
There are strengths to this approach. Blenkinsopp brings in the ancient Near Eastern context very well, and helps the reader understand Ezekiel's world and the power of his message in that world.
But there's corresponding weaknesses. I thought Blenkinsopp spent a bit too much time in his Anchor Bible Isaiah commentaries attempting to pick apart different authors and editors, and I can see from this commentary that this is apparently his thing. Even though Ezekiel is pretty consistent throughout, if there could possibly be a question of a later addition, Blenkinsopp is there. Even when there's no real reason to question the authorship of a text, sadly, Blenkinsopp will be there doing so.
His denial of Ezekiel being mute save for words of YHWH from the narrative moment of Ezekiel 4 to Ezekiel 33 is baffling and not well argued. His handling of Gog, though, is very good.
There is value in this commentary as long as you can overlook the overly critical disposition of the author.… (més)
