Revelation contains the most unusual Greek written in the ancient world. In Imitatio Ezekechielis, Best makes a unique contribution by arguing that the irregular Greek is due to John’s imitation of the nature of the grammar found in the inaugural vision of his prophetic exemplar, Ezekiel. The wide-ranging and multidisciplinary argument draws on Greek and Hebrew linguistics, ancient rhetoric, mimesis criticism, and Jewish merkabah mysticism.
