The Spaceships of Ezekiel (1974) is a book by J. F. Blumrich in which he theorises that Ezekiel's account in the Bible was not a literal description of a meeting with God, but a description — as accurate as his era's limited technology would allow — in the best similes available to him of an encounter with technologically advanced people in spaceships. Blumrich analyses several different translations of the Bible in conjunction with his experience in engineering and presents one possible version of the story as seen by a modern, technological society. In the extensive appendices he presents technical specifications, in considerable detail, of his hypothesised spacecraft.
