This is a clear and readable guide to one of the most complex books in the Hebrew Bible. Crouch and Hyas identify four centuries ( eighth-fifth BCE ) in the growth and editing of Isaiah. They show how each stage in the book's developing theological message relates to the political context of the day. Readers initially confused by the often muddled impression made by the finished book will find here a lucid account of its meaning and importance.
