Spirit and Reason

In this ambitious project, Launderville draws out a wealth of fascinating information about the Mesopotamian and pre-Socratic Greek traditions, and puts them into conversation with Ezekiel. His cross-cultural approach to Ezekiel's use of symbolic language to make meaning is a most welcome addition to the scholarship on this prophetic book.

~Jacqueline Lapsley, Associate Professor of Old Testament, Princeton Theological Seminary

Launderville has examined a remarkable selection of Ancient Near Eastern and Greek literature and addressed issues that lie outside typical monographs devoted to that prophet. I know no other scholar who has the capacity to work with this scope.

~David Petersen, Professor of New Testament, Candler School of Theology at Emory University

Launderville makes an important contribution by presenting a thought provoking comparative study between the biblical text and the Mesopotamian/Greek literatures.
