The book of Ezekiel and Mesopotamian city laments

Description:

"I am arguing that the Mesopotamian city lament genre likely affected the composition of the book of Ezekiel....The book of Ezekiel might be viewed as a prophetic reuse of this ancient lament genre, albeit, in a modified form, one that would suit the purposes of the exilic community."--Introduction, p. 5-6.
