{"product_id":"9783525536148","title":"Continuity and Discontinuity: Chronological and Thematic Development in Isaiah 40-66","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume of collected essays focuses on the relationship between the different texts within Isaiah 40-66. It reinvestigates and challenges the traditional division between chapters 40-55 and 56-66 and explores new ways of reading the last 27 chapters of the book of Isaiah. Each article examines Isaiah 40-55 and\/or Isaiah 56-66 and highlights continuity and discontinuity within this material. Some contributions belong to the tradition of historical-critical research. They examine existing models of textual development of Isa 40-66 and offer new suggestions. They also explore the interplay between the historical development of the text and its thematic continuity and discontinuity. Is the consistent use of a theme a sign of single authorship? Alternatively, are changes in the way a given issue is treated a sign of multiple authorship? Other contributions explore the final form of Isa 40-66 and suggest reading strategies that do justice to the message of the extant text. Yet other articles make case studies of specific elements of Isa 40-66. What is the significance of these texts for the theological development of the ancient Israelite religion? Further, how do they interact with and transform other texts in the Hebrew Bible?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vandenhoeck \u0026 Ruprecht","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062006333680,"sku":"9783525536148","price":113.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783525536148_p0.jpg?v=1763729926","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783525536148","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
