Historical-critical scholars have often thought that writing a
coherent theology of Isaiah 56-66 is impossible because it contains
such historically and ideologically diverse materials. A canonical
approach to the chapters is, however, open to considering Third
Isaiah as a complex but coherent theological unity. Leaning on this
approach, Abraham Oh constructs a theology of Isaiah 56-66. Arguing
that the theology of Third Isaiah has eschatology (both prophetic
and apocalyptic) at its core, he identifies four major themes and
explores their significance through four key texts (56:1-8;
59:15b-21; 60:1-22; 65:13-25). The covenant concept (56:1-8) forms
a framework for the eschatology in these chapters. People are
invited to walk in the covenant, which is worked out as
eschatological salvation. The coming of YHWH as the Divine Warrior
initiates the eschatological era (59:15b-21) and, bringing
judgment, restores the covenant. As the Temple-city-paradise
(60:1-22) into which the nations flow, the glorified Zion is the
eschatological fulfilment of the covenant, Zion, and Servant
traditions. The New Heavens and Earth (65:13-25) is a return to the
primordial paradise, where the natural world is restored, as the
problem of sin is resolved.
