Isaiah, Vol. 1: Chapters 1-39 (Westminster Bible Companion)

In this expository commentary, Walter Brueggemann considers the canonical shape of Isaiah and treats the book as a primary theological "script" of the people of God in the Old Testament.Here in Volume 1, Brueggemann writes on Isaiah 1-39. He explores Isaiah's richness and density, identifying its theological claims and showing how they are evoked by and addressed to particular historical situations. Although the events in Isaiah refer to actual crises in the ancient world, Isaiah's theme of displacement and restoration remains relevant for Christians today.
