Thoughtful exploration of the Hebrew prophetic tradition,
By dshulma@luc.edu (Evanston, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Prophet Reads Scripture: Allusion in Isaiah 40-66 (Contraversions: Jews and Other Differenc) (Hardcover)
Deutero-Isaiah occupies a significant place in the cast of Hebrew prophets. He is at once of the same generation of the great exilic prophets Ezekiel and Jeremiah, while at the same time a seminal figure for the lesser prophets. His quest to legitimize his message comprises a lyric corpus that poetically alludes to his predecessors. Prof. Sommer successfully examines Deutero-Isaiah's allusive tendencies and places the prohet within a framework of Hebrew prophecy that instructs us as much about the words he spoke as it does about the context of his tradition. This is a must read for any follower of the Old Testament tradition.
