NICOT : The Book of Isaiah Chapters 40 - 66

---

Outline: The second of John Oswalt's two-part study of Isaiah for the NICOT series, this commentary provides exegetical and theological exposition for scholars, pastors, and students who seek to know the perennial meaning of the text in contemporary terms. Though Oswalt's main introduction to Isaiah is found in his commentary on chapters 1-39, this second volume opens with an important discussion of the scholarly debate over the unity/diversity of Isaiah. Here Oswalt makes stronger his case for reading the entire book of Isaiah as written by a single author. Oswalt's work attemps to take seriously Israel's historical situation at the time chapters 40-66 were composed while also seeking to understand how these chapters function as a part of Isaiah's total vision written in the late 700s or early 600s B.C. Assuming the single authorship of Isaiah, the verse-by-verse commentary interprets chapters 40-66 in light of the book as a whole. While not neglecting issues for historical criticism or form criticism, the commentary focuses mainly on the theological meaning of the text as indicated especially by the literary structure. Building on his earlier argument that the central theme of Isaiah is servanthood, Oswalt keeps readers focused on the character of Isaiah's sovereign Redeemer God, on the blind servant Israel, and on the ultimate work of the Suffering Servant in whom the world can find its savior.
