Description
About the Book
The irregular grammar of Revelation has been noted since the third century CE. Drawing on the ancient practice of imitatio, Best argues that John's irregular grammar was caused by his imitation of the irregular grammar encountered in the prophetic commissioning scene of his authoritative predecessor, Ezekiel. John's overall strategy aligns his prophetic voice with the voice of Israel's authoritative prophetic tradition. By using irregular grammar, John speaks in the vox Ezechielis.Book Synopsis
Revelation contains the most unusual Greek written in the ancient world. In Imitatio Ezekechielis, Best makes a unique contribution by arguing that the irregular Greek is due to John's imitation of the nature of the grammar found in the inaugural vision of his prophetic exemplar, Ezekiel. The wide-ranging and multidisciplinary argument draws on Greek and Hebrew linguistics, ancient rhetoric, mimesis criticism, and Jewish merkabah mysticism.Dimensions (Overall): 9.43 Inches (H) x 6.37 Inches (W) x .95 Inches (D)
