The Oxford Handbook of Ezekiel provides introductions to the major trends in the scholarship of Ezekiel, one of the Bible's most debated books, from many of the leading scholars in the field. After an introductory overview of these trends, each essay discusses an important element in the scholarly engagement with the book. Several essays discuss the history of the text (e.g., historical context, redactional layers, text criticism, use of other Israelite and near eastern traditions). Others focus on key themes in the book (e.g., temple, priesthood, law, politics), while still others look at the book's reception history and contextual interpretations (e.g., art, Christian use, gender approaches, postcolonial approaches, trauma theory). Taken together, these essays demonstrate the vibrancy of Ezekiel research in the twenty-first century.

In this book, Phil Branigan examines multiple head-movement, a very common morpho-syntactic phenomenon that forms a part of the grammar in Finnish, English, Perenakan Javanese, northern Norwegian and Swedish dialects, and generally in the Slavic and Algonquian language families. Basing his analysis on a new model of the grammatical parameters which control word formation in the human brain, Branigan identifies how careful attention to the contexts in which multiple head-movement takes place allows new generalizations to be identified. A new account of how complex words are formed, this study deepens our understanding of how languages vary and of the mental computational system of human grammars.

In this book, Olukunle Olowabi explores the divergent developmental consequences of nations in the Global South that were shaped on the one hand by forced settlement, where European colonists established large-scale agricultural plantations with enslaved African labor, and on the other by colonial occupation. He shows that most forced settlement colonies emerged from European domination with higher levels of education attainment, greater postcolonial democratization, and favorable human development outcomes relative to Global South countries that emerged from colonial occupation after 1945. Covering the entire postwar era, this is the first book to systematically examine the distinctive patterns of state-building and institutional development that resulted from forced settlement and colonial occupation in the Black Atlantic world.

In Bach against Modernity, author Michael Marissen contests the common perception that J.S. Bach is a modern figure and instead suggests that, by eighteenth-century standards, Bach and his music in fact reflected and forcefully promoted a premodern world and life view.
