The Desert will Bloom: Poetic Visions in Isaiah

Sweeney, Marvin A.

Summary

This scholarly volume presents a collection of twelve essays that examine the poetic and symbolic dimensions of the Book of Isaiah. The contributors explore how figurative language—such as metaphors, imagery, and intertextual references—shapes the theological and communal visions within Isaiah. Key themes include the transformation of desolation into renewal, the interplay between divine judgment and hope, and the reimagining of Zion and the natural world as integral to the prophetic message.
