Arno C. Gaebelein's commentary on the Biblical prophet Ezekiel remains an authoritative and useful analysis of a pivotal figure in the Old Testament. The author accounts for Ezekiel's life in terms of the prophesies he made. Between the prophetic words of the subject, Gaebelein makes but one division: the destruction of Jerusalem. Throughout his accounts, Gaebelein offers the reader an in-depth discussion of the prophesies made by Ezekiel, particularly those concerning the emergence of a formal Jewish nation. It is uncommon in the modern day for the Book of Ezekiel to receive much reading or quotation by church pastors or preachers. There is thus a refreshing air of redress to Gaebelein's commentary, as it brings aspects of the Biblical lore uncommonly studied by believers to the fore. Gaebelein's close reading of the text brings certain insights of Ezekiel's story to light - subtleties which could easy pass even the experienced Bible reader by. Although a theologian, the author is keen to express his analyses in accessible language. Treading a line between the devotional and the academic, Gaebelein is keen to appeal to a range of readers - formal students in the university and the seminary, as well as the general Christian audience, will find satisfaction in this book. A Methodist minister in the 19th century, Arno C. Gaebelein was one of the most prominent figures of his denomination during the early 20th century. Forging links between Christians and Jews, the author successfully encouraged a strengthening of relations between the creeds. He did however disagree with Zionism, believing it to be an incorrect representation of Israel's restoration.
