- The bridging sections can be brief in a few complex vision texts.
We find Duguid helps us read Ezekiel with confidence, especially where visions, symbolism, and judgment oracles can overwhelm us.
The commentary keeps the Lord’s glory and covenant purposes central, then helps us consider how Ezekiel speaks to a church tempted to compromise.
Why Should I Own This Commentary?
We should own this volume when we need a safe guide through difficult sections. Duguid is clear, careful, and consistently concerned to apply the text to the life of faith without forcing it.
We also benefit from the way he handles the book’s big movements, exile, judgment, restoration, and renewed worship. That helps us plan preaching that is coherent rather than episodic.
As Reformed readers, we will appreciate the author’s concern for the church and for gospel shaped hope. The commentary often points us toward the Lord’s promise to cleanse, renew, and dwell with his people.
Closing Recommendation
We recommend this as an excellent mid level resource for pastors and teachers working through Ezekiel. It is clear enough for preaching, and deep enough to reward careful preparation.
