Few writings have shaped the world as much as the Book of Isaiah. Its
lyricism, imagery, theology, and ethics are all deeply ingrained into
us, and into Judeo-Christian culture more generally. It has been a
cultural touchstone from the time when it was formed, and it
influenced later Biblical authors as well. The Book of Isaiah is also
a complex work of literature, dense with poetry, rhetoric, and
theology, and richly intertwined with ancient history. For all these
reasons, it is a challenge to read well. The Cambridge Companion to
Isaiah serves as an up-to-date and reliable guide to this biblical
book. Including diverse perspectives from leading scholars all over
the world, it approaches Isaiah from a wide range of methodological
approaches. It also introduces the worlds in which the book was
produced, the way it was formed, and the impacts it has had on
contemporary and later audiences in an accessible way.
