The Book of Isaiah 1-39

This is thee first of John N. Oswalt's two-part study of Isaiah fo rthe NICOT series. In the introduction to this work, Oswalt considers Isaiah's background, unity of composition, date and authorship, canonicity, Hebrew text, theology, and problems of interpretation, and he offers a select bibliography for further research. Oswalt defencs the unity of the prophetic book and arugues convincingly that the whole of the book can be attributed to Isaiah of the eighth century.
