Introduction—Ezekiel who?
“To this day, at a place called Al-Kifl, near the ancient ruins of Babylon in Iraq, there lies what is claimed to be the burial tomb of Ezekiel. The book of Ezekiel may as well lie buried with him, for few Christians read it, and fewer still find it profitable reading.”

Conclusion—Sojourners and Exiles
“Exile. It is not being without roots. On the contrary, it is having deep roots which have now been plucked up, and there you are, with roots dangling, writhing in pain, exposed to a cold and jeering world, longing to be restored to native and nurturing soil. Exile is knowing precisely where you belong, but knowing that you can't go back, not yet.” -Tamara Eskenazi |
