Essays on the Book of Isaiah, Hardback Book

Essays on the Book of Isaiah Hardback

Part of the Forschungen zum Alten Testament series

Hardback

Description

This collection of twenty essays by Joseph Blenkinsopp on different aspects of the book of Isaiah is the product of three decades of close study of the most seminal and challenging texts of the Hebrew Bible.

Five of the twenty are published here for the first time.

Some deal with major themes in Isaiah, for example, universalism, the Hebrew God as creator in dialogue with Babylonian and Zoroastrian theologies of creation, theology and politics, and the Suffering Servant of the Lord God, which is of such great influence on the presentation of the life and death of Jesus in the New Testament.

Others consist in close readings of specific texts in the book Aufsatze zum Buch Jesaja.
