Summary:

Das Buch Jesaja sagt seltsam wenig über die Zerstörung Jerusalems im frühen 6. Jahrhundert v.Chr. Frederik Poulsen zeigt, dass das Exil sich als ein »schwarzes Loch« im Zentrum des Schriftwerks versteckt und somit entscheidenden Einfluss auf die literarische Struktur, poetische Metaphorik und theologische Botschaft dieses prophetischen Buches hat.
