Description

The latter half of the sixth century BCE saw the Jewish community in a state of turmoil following their conquest by Babylonian armies. In response to growing despair over life in servitude and exile, Isaiah 40-66 was written. This collection of poems offers a poetic argument for a loving and attentive God and the rightful place of God's creatures in the unfolding of history. Paul Hanson examines the writings of Second and Third Isaiah, revealing a complex and nuanced exploration of faith and identity. Through his analysis, Hanson sheds light on the ways in which these poems address the challenges faced by the Jewish community during this period. This book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the biblical text, offering insights into the nature of God's relationship with humanity and the role of the individual within the broader context of history.
