Summary:

"The study deals with the theological message and composition of the Book of Isaiah and promotes a thesis that an early Jewish reception history helps us to find perspectives to understand them. Important topics are Hezekiah as Immanuel, postponement of the promised salvation, the task of hardening, the childbirth metaphor, and the use of Islamic texts in the activities of Ezra and Nehemiah." --Back cover
