Pseudo-Ezekiel And The Original Prophecy is a book written by Charles Cutler Torrey. The book is a scholarly work that explores the origins and evolution of the Book of Ezekiel, one of the major prophetic books in the Hebrew Bible. Torrey argues that the Book of Ezekiel was originally a collection of prophetic oracles and visions that were later edited and expanded by a later author or group of authors, who added new material and restructured the existing text to suit their own theological and political agendas. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Book of Ezekiel. Torrey begins by examining the historical and cultural context in which the book was written, including the Babylonian exile and the influence of Babylonian religion and mythology on Jewish thought. He then delves into the structure and content of the book, analyzing the different sections and showing how they relate to each other.One of the main arguments of the book is that there are two distinct voices in the Book of Ezekiel: the voice of the original prophet and the voice of the later editor(s). Torrey identifies certain passages and themes that he believes are characteristic of the original prophecy, such as the emphasis on individual responsibility and the importance of repentance. He also identifies passages that he believes were added later, such as the vision of the new temple and the detailed descriptions of the sacrificial system.Overall, Pseudo-Ezekiel And The Original Prophecy is a highly detailed and scholarly work that will be of interest to students and scholars of biblical studies, theology, and ancient Near Eastern history and culture. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the complex and multifaceted nature of one of the most important prophetic books in the Hebrew Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
