This unit provides an in-depth exegetical study of the Book of Ezekiel, known for its vivid imagery of God and its themes of divine abandonment, idolatry and right worship. The course will ask students to examine the text as a prophetic response to trauma located in a particular historical, religious, and social setting. We will then consider how such themes might offer a way of thinking about the prophetic voice in the face of trauma and change in today’s world.
