Part Two: The Theology That Emerges from Isaiah: 6. Revelation -- 7. The God of Israel as the Holy One, Yahweh Armies -- 8. Holy as Upright and Merciful -- 9. Israel and Judah -- 10. Jerusalem and Zion Critiqued and Threatened -- 11. Jerusalem and Zion Chastised and Restored -- 12. The Remains -- 13. The Nations -- 14. The Empires and Their Kings -- 15. Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility -- 16. Divine Planning and Human Planning -- 17. David -- 18. Yahweh's Day.
Summary: The book of Isaiah's imagery sparkles as it inspires. It draws us in to meditate and extends our vision toward the future. 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, parts put together in an intentional whole. The Theology of the Book of Isaiah studies the prophecies, messages and theology of each section of the complex book, then 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.
