FOR THE SAKE OF MY HOLY NAME

For The Sake Of My Holy Name deeply examines the motif of the vindication of the divine reputation in the book of Ezekiel. A study of the specific language of the motif along with its meanings and functions reveals that the motif is vital to the rhetorical strategy of the entire book--it fulfills literary and theological ends. This investigation is based primarily on a literacy-critical rhetorical analysis of texts from the perspective of an ideal sequential reader.
