The Theology of the Book of Isaiah

Yahweh sits enthroned, high and lifted up A shoot grows from the stump of Jesse
A Servant pours himself out to death Kings and nations stream to Zion
The book of Isaiah's imagery sparkles as it inspires. It draws us in to
meditate and extend our vision along its vectors. 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. Then, stepping back, he unfurls its unifying themes-from
Zion to David to the Holy One of Israel. Like a program guide to Handel's
Messiah, Goldingay helps us see, hear and understand the grandeur of this
prophetic masterpiece among the Prophets.
