Summary
This volume offers a comprehensive survey of the reception history of the Book of Isaiah over two millennia, tracing its interpretation from the Septuagint and other early versions through Jewish and Christian exegesis up to the late twentieth century. Each chapter provides an overview of Isaiah's interpretation within a specific historical context and delves into particular aspects of its reception by various readers of that period. Topics include nationalistic exegesis in the Greek Isaiah, interpretations at Qumran, Paul's readings in Romans, Johannine Christology, patristic and rabbinic perspectives, Reformation-era commentaries, and developments in modern critical scholarship. The collection highlights the dynamic and multifaceted nature of Isaiah's interpretation across different eras and communities.
