A fresh window on Isaiah studies today
Representing the highest echelon of Isaiah studies, this volume explores distinct issues that arise from the critical study of the text of Isaiah. The contributors acknowledge and comment on the exegetical contributions of distinguished biblical scholar Joseph Blenkinsopp, providing distinction and coherence to the collection.
The publication between 2000 and 2004 of Blenkinsopp's 3-volume Anchor Bible commentary on Isaiah marked a significant development in Isaiah studies. Many of the articles and books now published in the field cite Blenkinsopp, testifying to how his commentary is influencing and helping shape the future direction of Isaiah studies. This volume, with its focus on his contributions, provides a fresh look at Isaiah studies in the twenty-first century.

"For anyone interested in the book of Isaiah, this volume provides a wealth of studies (as well as a warm and witty appreciation of Joseph Blenkinsopp by Philip Davies). . . . This collection not only honors a major scholar in the field but also makes its own original contribution, which all future students of Isaiah will need to take account of."

—New York University
"A series of significant studies treating Isaian texts and issues, these essays offer a wealth of diachronic and synchronic observations, broad thematic considerations, and studies of words and phrases. Most are written by leading biblical scholars and address fundamental questions. Highly recommended."
Chris Franke
—St. Catherine University
"A positive view in this volume of the role of redactors as creators in their own right marks a new perspective on the relationship between the three major sections of the book of Isaiah. The bibliographic entries are invaluable for current Isaiah studies."

Those who are familiar with these subjects will find this book to be an engaging set of essays offering much insight into the discipline."
