Book excerpt: The new exodus is an enduring subject of dispute in Deutero-Isaiah research. For the last five decades scholars have raised arguments both for and against the presence of a so-called new exodus paradigm, debating the extent to which the exodus tradition influenced depictions of the homecoming of the exiles in Isaiah 40-55. In this thesis I concur that the new exodus is a significant paradigm in Isa 40-55, but I go on to argue that a creative transformation of the new exodus ensues in the course of reading Deutero-Isaiah. My study focuses on some unique traits of the homecoming theme in Isaiah 40-55 and sets out to demonstrate that the depiction of the homecoming in these chapters undergoes a significant shift from a new exodus to a pilgrimage paradigm. In the texts I examine, one encounters distinct journey types that are differently oriented and register separate horizons of experience shared by the audience. In the case of the pilgrimage paradigm, such characteristic features include an emphasis on arrival at a specific holy site, an atmosphere of worship, and the travellers' purification and inner transformation in approaching the divine presence. Some of the texts I will consider have been linked to a distinct compositional stage, the Great Isaiah redaction, understood to have imposed greater coherence to the larger Isaiah book through the addition of homecoming texts. This redactional view grounds the significance of some of the texts I consider within a larger editorial design rather than within the Deutero-Isaiah context. Withholding a dismissive attitude towards undeniable indications of distinct compositional stages, I nevertheless take a different approach. In the course of the study, I ascertain that the pilgrimage paradigm can be understood as a development of the literary context, bringing further expression to the themes of Zion's restoration and doxological renewal announced throughout Isa 40-55. I further argue for the significance of this pilgrimage paradigm to other issues of Isaiah interpretation including the placement of the fourth servant song and the role of servant-Israel among the nations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This all-purpose commentary is by the author of 'The Suffering Servant in Deutero-Isaiah'.

Book Synopsis Isaiah 40-55 by : George A.F. Knight

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "George Knight has produced a very fluent and readable commentary on these important chapters of the book of Isaiah, which, more than any other part of the Old Testament, anticipate the Cross of Christ. By concentrating on the theological issues that are raised and by adopting a non-technical style of presentation, Knight introduces the reader to some of the leading motifs of biblical theology. In view of the complex questions which relate to the structure and unity of the book of Isaiah, I believe that all who share an evangelical faith and who have regard for the theological importance of the Old Testament will find this commentary rewarding and enriching." — R.E. Clements, King's College, University of London.
Book Synopsis The Message of Isaiah 40-55 by : John Goldingay
Download or read book The Message of Isaiah 40-55 written by John Goldingay and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-10-27 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Message of Isaiah 40-55 traces the argument of Isaiah 40-55 to show how the chapters bring a message of encouragement and challenge about God's intention to restore the Judean community, some of whose members are in exile in Babylon, others living in the city of Jerusalem that has lain devastated since it fell to the Babylonians in 587. The chapters hold before this community's eyes a vision of the nature of its God as the powerful creator and the loving restorer. In the course of following the argument, the reader becomes aware that the chapters have to deal with their audience's mysterious resistance to their message. It cannot give God the kind of response the message needs and deserves, nor can it fulfil the role as God's servant that is designed for it. God nevertheless remains committed to it. The prophet eventually becomes aware of a distinctive personal calling to embody that response, until the people are ready to do so. It is the prophet's willingness to do this (notwithstanding the suffering it brings) that embodies the kind of ministry that needs to be exercised to them so that they may be brought back to God and find a restoration of spirit, as well as a physical restoration.

Book excerpt: For over one hundred years International Critical Commentaries have had a special place among works on the Bible. They bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological - to help the reader understand the meaning of the books of the Old and New Testaments. The new commentaries continue this tradition. All new evidence now available is incorporated and new methods of study are applied. The authors are of the highest international standing. No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought.
Book Synopsis Deutero-Isaiah: a Theological Commentary on Isaiah 40-55 by : George Angus Fulton Knight
Download or read book Deutero-Isaiah: a Theological Commentary on Isaiah 40-55 written by George Angus Fulton Knight and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No section of the Old Testament has attracted more attention than has Isa. 40-55. The literature on it is more extensive than any one man could hope to read and digest in a decade. Yet Deutero-Isaiah will continue to attract exegetes so long as men study the Bible, for these sixteen chapters are as decisive and significant for an understanding of the Christian faith as are the sixteen chapters of Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Yet far less theological interest has been paid to Deutero-Isaiah than to the Epistle to the Romans. Unlike the majority of commentators, I have kept as closely as possible to the received Hebrew text; that is to say, I take a conservative view of the Masoretic text. Isa. 40-55 is a document of fundamental importance. The roots of most of Christian theology are to be found in it. Therefore its study is both essential and very rewarding. - Introduction.
