It asks: what is the nature of the relationship between Ezekiel and the Priestly Source? What is the nature of the relationship between Ezekiel, Deuteronomy and the Deuteronomistic History? Where does the book of Ezekiel stand in the evolution of Israelite history, theology and literature-specifically, what can Ezekiel teach us about the composition of the Torah?

Levitt Kohn's overall thesis is definitely intriguing and well supported. She contributes a comprehensive study of the idiomatic similarities between Ezekiel and P and Ezekiel and D.... Levitt Kohn's study should definitely serve scholars of both Ezekiel and the Petateuch. As a window for further research, it could, moreover, be instructive for scholars interested in inner-biblical interpretation. -Dalit Rom-Shiloni, Journal of Biblical Literature, Volume 123, No. 2, Summer 2004
