  Additional Info
  Ever since the first century, Christians have regarded Isaiah as a high point in the Old Testament prophetic literature. Its themes of messiah and suffering servant, deliverance from exile and new creation–to name a few–have been viewed as reaching particular fulfillment in the gospel. Then too, the impact of Isaiah on the church’s language of worship and hymnology, and on the Western tradition of art and literature, is beyond measure. The book of Isaiah has also received more than its fair share of scholarly examination, with various theories of its origin and composition proposed.

  Originating in a 2008 Tyndale Fellowship conference on Isaiah, Interpreting Isaiah (David Firth and Hugh G. M. Williamson, editors) presents some of the most significant evangelical scholarship on Isaiah today. Essays on recent scholarship and the theology of Isaiah offer valuable overviews that bring readers abreast of current understanding. And more sharply focused studies in particular Isaianic themes and texts explore issues and exercise methodologies that will interest and reward diligent teachers and preachers of the Old Testament.

  Variations On A Theme

  $29.99

  The related themes of King, servant and Messiah that feature prominently in Isaiah are analyzed in this volume. Hugh Williamson examines the texts that focus on the role of a human figure in the establishment of God’s ideal society. Despite changing protagonists, the author identifies a fundamental unity of the principles of this society. From this he argues that the predictive element within Isaiah is in the task to be undertaken and not the person who will do it.
