description: For most Bible readers Ezekiel is almost a closed book writes John Taylor. Their knowledge of him extends little further than his mysterious vision of God's chariot-throne with its wheels within wheels and the vision of the valley of the dry bones. Otherwise his book is as forbidding in its size as the prophet himself is in the complexity of his make-up Taylor goes on. In its structure however if not in its thought and language the book of Ezekiel has a basic simplicity and its orderly framework makes it easy to analyze. Taylor in the introduction to this analysis of Ezekiel sketches a portrait of the prophet and his times carefully placing the book and its prophecies within their historical settings. He also provides an overview of the books themes and a clear outline of its contents.
