Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Unity of the Book of Isaiah: Linguistic and Other Evidence of the Undivided Authorship
WE have been assured so persistently of late years that the Book of Isaiah is the work of two, or, more probably, of several hands of widely differing dates, that any attempt to run counter to the stream may seem a somewhat hopeless one. Yet when we have regard not only to the immense importance of the issue at stake, but to the curiously dissimilar nature of the evidence ranged on the two sides, we do well to feel that till the new view, in one definite and undisputed form, has absolutely and utterly crushed out the old belief, it is wise to keep the question open, to hold one's judgment in abeyance, to be ready to consider with open mind each fresh statement of the case as it is urged.
The last recorded utterance of Isaiah to Hezekiah is the Divine pronouncement of the Captivity of Baby lon, though Nineveh was then the capital of the empire. This threat may well be the key to the promise of the deliverance from that captivity dwelt on in the twenty seven succeeding chapters, which leads on to the thought of deliverance from a mightier foe than Babylon and by a mightier deliverer than Cyrus.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the long-held belief that the Book of Isaiah was written by a single author, a view that has been challenged in recent centuries by scholars who argue that different sections were written by different authors at different times. The author delves into the intricate details of linguistic and thematic arguments surrounding the Book of Isaiah, engaging in a fascinating exploration of how these different perspectives have shaped our understanding of one of the most significant texts in the Hebrew Bible. The book explores the internal consistency of Isaiah, pointing to the recurring themes, stylistic devices, and vocabulary that connect its various sections. The author considers the historical context of the prophecies and their relationship to the Jewish people's experience of exile and restoration, offering compelling insights into the depth of the biblical narrative and its timeless relevance. The author skillfully examines the evidence presented by those who argue for multiple authors, drawing on their arguments about historical and theological discrepancies within the book, ultimately challenging their conclusions and presenting a strong case for the unity of Isaiah. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and meaning of the Hebrew Bible, offering a fresh perspective on the Book of Isaiah and its enduring significance for understanding the divine message. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
