<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>What should we make of the sprawling and puzzling book of Isaiah--so layered and complex in its composition? John Goldingay helps us see, hear and understand the grandeur of this prophetic masterpiece among the Prophets as both separate parts and as a whole, clearly tied together with unifying themes.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><ul> <li> <em>Preaching's</em> Preacher's Guide to the Best Bible Reference for 2014 (Old Testament Commentaries)</li> </ul><p> <em>Yahweh sits enthroned, high and lifted up<br /> A shoot grows from the stump of Jesse<br /> A Servant pours himself out to death<br /> Kings and nations stream to Zion</em> The book of Isaiah's imagery sparkles as it inspires. It draws us in to meditate and extends our vision toward the future. But what should we make of this sprawling and puzzling book--so layered and complex in its composition--as a whole? John Goldingay helps us make sense of this book called Isaiah as a tapestry of patterned collages, parts put together in an intentional whole. <em>The Theology of the Book of Isaiah</em> studies the prophecies, messages and theology of each section of the complex book, then unfurls its unifying themes--from Zion to David to the Holy One of Israel. Like a program guide to Handel's <em>Messiah</em>, Goldingay helps us see, hear and understand the grandeur of this prophetic masterpiece among the Prophets.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>(Goldingay) offers helpful perspectives for surmounting some of the critical issues with which Isaiah confronts beginning readers, such as the problem of authorship, the New Testament writers' peculiar appropriations of Isaiah, and messianic interpretations that have been inappropriately applied to Isaiah for centuries.</p>--Patricia K. Tull, Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology, 70(3), July 2016<br><br><p>Goldingay has managed admirably to condense the vast 'theologies' of Isaiah in an easy-to-understand style. Lucidly he explains all the technical terms . . . the reader encounters. This helps the general reader access the essential theologies of the book. His study is therefore especially valuable for preaching as well as for Sunday school classes.</p>--Jerry A. Gladson, APC, Sharing the Practice, June 2015<br><br><p>Goldingay has succeeded in presenting a study regarding the theology of the book of Isaiah that is well worth reading. By working with the metaphor of collage he is able to emphasize not only the diversity of the different prophetic voices in the book of Isaiah but also their theological composition as a whole.</p>--Judith Gärtner, The Review of Biblical Literature, February 2016<br><br><p>Goldingay has written a very readable and provocative book, which could be enjoyed by and beneficial to both undergraduates and graduate students. Furthermore, thoughtful laypeople, who are willing to be challenged and stretched, would find it a helpful resource for better understanding what the book of Isaiah is driving at. Goldingay refuses to confuse obscurity with profundity.</p>--Daryl Docterman, Stone-Campbell Journal, Fall 2015<br><br><p>This book could be useful for Christians in a number of ways. For the pastor or ministry leader preparing a talk or sermon on Isaiah, Goldingay will provide broad-stroke and expert commentary on the larger units of the book.</p>--Michael Chan, Word World, Winter 2016<br>
