Buchbeschreibung Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This is Old Testament scholarship at its most useful''Having plowed my way through many Isaiah commentaries, both critical and devotional, I am struck by the rare balance that McConville manages to maintain, addressing the complex literature of Isaiah with clarity and pastoral sensitivity. Here is a commentary that elucidates the rhetoric and literary nuances of this ancient prophetic book while attending to its theological and ethical claims for ancient Judah and our contemporary world. This is now my recommended commentary for seminary students.'--J. Richard Middleton, Northeastern Seminary, Roberts Wesleyan College'McConville is a wise guide through the myriad options that confront the reader when engaging the monumental prophecy of Isaiah. He gives balanced and unbiased views on structure and translation and points us to historical layering, to authorial and redactional stages, and to complex theological themes. McConville has achieved that rarity of a commentary that is at once learned and highly readable.'--Katharine J. Dell, University of Cambridge'Readers of a commentary on Isaiah may hope that it will help them grasp the book of Isaiah as a whole, the way different parts relate to different contexts, the theological significance of these different parts, how Isaiah looks when read in light of the New Testament, what we might learn from modern study of it, and the actual meaning of individual chapters. McConville gives sensible and illuminating answers to all these questions.'--John Goldingay, Fuller Theological Seminary (emeritus)'A book as complex and rich as Isaiah requires an informed, seasoned commentator. Gordon McConville is that. In this volume, he offers a close reading of the biblical text, judicious discussions of technical details and debated issues, and sensible theological reflections. This is Old Testament scholarship at its most useful. Substantive, yet accessible, this will be a mainstay among Isaiah commentaries for a long time.'--M. Daniel Carroll R., Wheaton College and Graduate School'McConville showcases the strengths of traditional exegetical practice even as he incorporates newer trends in biblical scholarship. He is refreshingly modest about our ability to contextualize the Isaiah traditions historically, demonstrating how the book itself subordinates historical reference to thematic patterning. His commentary offers a rich tapestry of theological insights on one of the Bible's best-loved, most-influential books. He situates Isaiah skillfully within the overarching witness of the Christian Bible while remaining scrupulously accountable to the biblical text.'--Stephen B. Chapman, Duke University.
