"Our Hope is Lost; We Are Cut Off" (Ezek 37:11)
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article explores the historical background to Ezekiel’s famous dry bones vision and examines how that vision (Ezek 37:1–14) interacts with the theory of hope that C. R. Snyder formulated in The Psychology of Hope (1994). It shows Ezekiel’s carefully developed program of encouraging the people to maintain their Judahite identity, oppose the Babylonian Empire’s program for integrating exiles, and develop their hope of return to Judah.
