The book of Isaiah has nourished the church throughout the
centuries. However, its massive size can be intimidating; its
historical setting can seem distant, opaque, varied; its
organization and composition can seem disjointed and fragmented;
its abundance of terse, poetic language can make its message seem
veiled--and where are those explicit prophecies about Christ? These
are typical experiences for many who try to read, let alone teach
or preach, through Isaiah. Andrew Abernethy's conviction is that
thematic points of reference can be of great help in encountering
Isaiah and its rich theological message. In view of what the
structure of the book of Isaiah aims to emphasize, this New Studies
in Biblical Theology volume employs the concept of "kingdom" as an
entry point for organizing the book's major themes. In many
respects, Isaiah provides a people living amidst imperial contexts
with a theological interpretation of them in the light of YHWH's
past, present and future sovereign reign. Four features of
"kingdom" frame Abernethy's study: God, the King; the lead agents
of the King; the realm of the kingdom and the people of the King.
While his primary aim is to show how "kingdom" is fundamental to
Isaiah when understood within its Old Testament context,
interspersed canonical reflections assist those who are wrestling
with how to read Isaiah as Christian Scripture in and for the
church. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works
comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts
to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series
is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to
edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way
ahead.
