'Enlarge the Site of Your Tent'
The City as Unifying Theme in Isaiah
Series:
In the year 2000, the first OTS volume by the Jesaja Werkplaats was published, entitled: Studies in Isaiah 24-27 (OTS 43). In the present volume, the question as to the possible unity of the book Isaiah forms the centre of the Jesaja Werkplaatsâ interest. In order to gain a better insight into this question, the Jesaja Werkplaats has decided on a fixed starting point: the concept of the âcityâ within the book Isaiah. This concept not only has a literary meaning, but also a historical one. Examining the âcityâ, therefore, demands various exegetical approaches, overcoming the classical dichotomy between diachrony and synchrony. This volume offers an intriguing variety of contributions on the âcityâ throughout the entire book Isaiah.
Archibald L.H.M. van Wieringen, PhD (1993) in Theology, is senior lecturer of Old Testament at the Faculty of Catholic Theology, University of Tilburg. He has published extensively on the book Isaiah, using his communication-oriented exegesis, including The Implied Reader in Isaiah 6-12 (Brill, 1998).
Annemarieke van der Woude, PhD (2005) in Theology, is an independent biblical scholar. She has published especially on the drama-linguistic aspects of Deutero-Isaiah.
