The vision of transformation: The territorial rhetoric of Ezekiel 40-48.
Stevenson, Donna L.

The vision of transformation: The territorial rhetoric of Ezekiel 40-48. - 201 p.

Coordinator: Marvin L. Chaney.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Graduate Theological Union, 1992.

The dissertation is an interdisciplinary study which combines the insights of human geography and rhetoric with exegesis of Ezekiel 40-48 in an effort to read the whole as a rhetorical response to the social and theological crises of exile. The thesis of the dissertation is that Ezekiel 40-48 is territorial rhetoric, produced in the context of the Babylonian exile to restructure the society of Israel by reasserting YHWH's territorial claim as the only king of Israel. The fundamental premise is that assumptions about genre determine interpretation. Many of the problems of interpretation concerning Ezekiel 40-48 are problems of genre, most notably the assumption that Chapters 40-42 are the "blueprint" for the post-exilic temple in Jerusalem.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The dissertation is an interdisciplinary study which combines the insights of human geography and rhetoric with exegesis of Ezekiel 40-48 in an effort to read the whole as a rhetorical response to the social and theological crises of exile. The thesis of the dissertation is that Ezekiel 40-48 is territorial rhetoric, produced in the context of the Babylonian exile to restructure the society of Israel by reasserting YHWH's territorial claim as the only king of Israel. The fundamental premise is that assumptions about genre determine interpretation. Many of the problems of interpretation concerning Ezekiel 40-48 are problems of genre, most notably the assumption that Chapters 40-42 are the "blueprint" for the post-exilic temple in Jerusalem.
520 $a The central topic is territoriality, which involves the effort to control social space, by defining areas, communicating boundaries, and attempting to control access. I argue that the purpose of the measurements is not to provide a building plan of a temple but to change the society of post-exilic Israel by changing access to social spaces. It is a critique of the monarchic social structure of pre-exilic Israel in the form of a territorial claim by YHWH as the only king of Israel. In a world in which kings were temple builders, it provides a radical vision of a society centered on a temple which was not the territory of a human king.
520 $a This concept of territoriality also provides answers to many of the questions concerning the organization of the text, which many scholars have seen as disorganized and disconnected. By treating the text according to the model of a Babylonian New Year ritual, the text can be read as YHWH's renewal of kingship, and territorial claim to the temple and the land of Israel. This topic of territoriality explains the concern for measurements, the rules for access, the function of the offerings, and the concept of holiness in Ezekiel 40-48.
