Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prophet of Reconstruction (Ezekiel): A Patriot's Ideal, for a New Age
IN the following pages I have attempted to use the materials left by Ezekiel in order to describe the development of his thought. He himself has given us his convictions as he was conscious of them at certain great moments of his life. I have set myself to fill up the intervals. All reconstruction is a perilous business; most of all when recon struction attempts the inner history of a great man separated from us by centuries.
But if it be true, as I believe it is, that Ezekiel for all his limitations (and who has not to suffer from limitations was one of the most penetrating thinkers of the Hebrew race, we shall learn much by studying him from the dynamic as well as from the static point of view. And this, as I have tried to show, he has made it possible to do with considerable success.
