Excellent analysis of Isaiah in the Book of Mormon,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Isaiah in the Book of Mormon (Hardcover)
Isaiah is the most quoted Old Testament prophet in the Book of Mormon volume, and this tome does justice to the essential role Isaiah plays in the volume, with many essays dedicating to exegeting the Nephite midrash of Isaiah periocpe and whole chapters in the Book of Mormon text.
One of my favourite chapters deals with Isaiah 29 and its relation to the Book of Mormon. The chapter, cognently, reveals that, exegetically, Isaiah 29 is not about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, but that 2 Nephi 27, a re-working of Isaiah 29 by Nephi, represents a midrash, where Nephi "likens" the scriptures to his people, the Nephites, with them respresenting, in this context, the wasted peoples in Jerusalem/Ariel, the City of David spoken of in the opening verses of Isaiah 29. I suggest this book for those who have a serous interest in Book of Mormon studies. |
