Isaiah 40-66
The latter half of the sixth century B.C.E. found the Jewish community
fragmented and under great strife after having been conquered by the
Babylonian armies. As a response to a growing despair over life in
servitude and exile, Isaiah 40 - 66 was written. Paul Hanson examines
the writings of Second Isaiah. What he discovers is a poetic argument
for a loving and attentive God and the rightful place of God's creatures
in the unfolding of history. This commentary provides a wealth of insight into the world and worldview of Second Isaiah.
