Interpreting Isaiah

The Suffering and Glory of the Messiah   --   This multifaceted volume artfully blends the functions of an introduction and a commentary.  WIthout overwhelming the student with details, it discusses a wide range of issues that are important for the interpretation of Isaiah . . . In the first part, Herbert Wolf discusses the more traditional introductory questions: the world of Isaiah, the theories of multiple authorship, the structure of Isaiah, and Isaiah's poetry.  The second part is a detailed paragraph-by-paragraph analysis of the prophecy itself.  The last part of the book discusses Isaiah, christological and exchatological emphases.  Detailed footnotes and an extensive bilbiography facilitate further study.
