Isaiah: An Introduction and Study Guide: A Paradigmatic Prophet and His Interpreters
Professor C.L. Crouch (Radboud University),Christopher B. Hays (Fuller Theological Seminary, USA)
C. L. Crouch and Christopher B. Hays introduce the Book of Isaiah in its diverse historical contexts, tracing its origins and development over several centuries: beginning with the career of the prophet Isaiah ben Amoz in eighth century Jerusalem, continuing with a late seventh century edition and the further revisions made in the late sixth century, and concluding with final shaping during the Persian Period.
At each stage Crouch and Hays pay close attention to the historical, cultural, and theological conversations that influenced the book’s aims and interests. Crouch and Hays discuss the theological and literary continuities among the book’s contributors, as well as where language and concerns differed from generation to generation. They also consider the reception history of Isaiah and what the text has meant to people through history.
With suggestions of further reading at the end of each chapter, this guide will be an essential accompaniment to study of the Book of Isaiah.
