âAs Those Who Are Taughtâ
The Interpretation of Isaiah from the LXX to the SBL
Series: - SBL - Symposium, Volume: 27
This far-ranging volume offers a survey of the history of Isaiahâs interpretation over the course of two millennia, from the Septuagint and early versions, continuing through the centuries in Jewish and Christian exegesis, and concluding with the late twentieth century. Each chapter includes an introductory survey of Isaiahâs interpretation within a particular historical context and pursues a particular facet of Isaiahâs interpretation by one of Isaiahâs many readers in that time period. The contributors are David A. Baer, George J. Brooke, J. David Cassel, Alan Cooper, Jan Fekkes III, Robert A. Harris, Arie van der Kooij, Claire Mathews McGinnis, Roy F. Melugin, Amy Plantinga Pauw, Gary Stansell, Marvin A. Sweeney, Patricia K. Tull, J. Ross Wagner, and Catrin H. Williams, representing the fields of biblical studies, rabbinics, and Christian history and theology. An indispensable resource for scholars and students working in the fields of biblical studies, hermeneutics, and the history of interpretation, this volume will also appeal to anyone with an interest in the book of Isaiah and its interpretation.

'Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes überzeugen durch ihr durchweg hohes exegetisches und philologisches Niveau. In ihrer Gesamtheit ermöglichen sie einen instruktiven Ãberblick über den gegenwärtigen Diskussionsstand der Jesajaforschung und über die Wirkungsgeschichte des Jesajabuches im Judentum und im Christentum. Hierbei werden die unterschiedlichen Funktionen der Schriftauslegung in der langen Geschichte beider Religionen deutlich. Daneben stöÃt man immer wieder auf hochinteressante Einzelbeobachtungen, die eine weitere Beschäftigung mit Aspekten der Auslegung und Applikation des Prophetenbuches provozieren.'
