Excerpt from The Prophetic Books of the Old Testament, Vol. 2: Their Origin, Contents, and Significance Until very recently few scholars thought it necessary to devote any space to a discussion o-f the genuineness or integrity of the book. Even Driver disposes of the ques tion in a single sentence; N 0 critical question arises in connection with the authorship of the book, the whole from beginning to end bearing unmistakably the stamp of a single mind.24 In the same spirit Gray writes: It is the work of Ezekiel, a priest, who was one of the captives of the year 597 B. C. The question of sources arises just as little as the question of integrity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
