In this Commentary Clip, Tony discusses the image of dry bones God uses to instruct the Prophet Ezekiel in chapter 37 of the book which bears his name. Comparing this scene to the second account of creation in Genesis, the episode of the dry bones teaches reveals how God so loves the human family that He has transformed the very punishment for sin into its saving remedy.
