J. J. M. Roberts takes a classical historical-critical approach to his interpretation of this material, making good use of his broad comparative knowledge of ancient Near Eastern historical and religious sources. In light of Isaiahs very long prophetic ministry of at least thirty-eight years, and perhaps as long as fifty-three years, Roberts also suggests Isaiah often reedited older oracles from early in his ministry to address new, though somewhat analogous situations, albeit with different players, later in his ministry, without erasing telltale signs of the materials earlier origin. In many cases, this suggestion provides a better explanation for glaring inconsistencies in an apparently connected text than the common fragmentation of the text that attributes such inconsistencies to later editors who either misunderstood or intentionally altered Isaiahs message for their own purposes.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Jimmy Jack McBee Roberts</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Isaiah</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Isaiah -- Commentaries</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">220.7</classification> <classification authority="ddc">H553-B58</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780800660802</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/2/18/41hy_Oavb5L._SX444_BO1_204_203_200_.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/2/18/41hy_Oavb5L._SX444_BO1_204_203_200_.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070516.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
