The present study grew out of an idea originally pursued in an indepen-dent study on Ezekiel with David Petersen during my doctoral program at Emory University. Upon encountering the scholarship of Johan Lust, I was immediately impressed with the magnitude for potential study of p967. My initial questions took seriously papyrus 967 as a functioning manu-script and edition of Ezekiel with its own distinctive literary features. This initial approach shaped my sense that materialist philology and literary criticism needed to be brought to bear upon textual study, especially in as complex a textual scenario as p967 presented for Ezekiel. In consul-tation with David Petersen and Carol Newsom, the present study took an early form as a dissertation proposal. Subsequent conversations with Brent Strawn, who was to become my doctoral adviser, gave the project its present shape as a doctoral thesis.
