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. This
study treats the following themes among others: 1 Hezekiah as
Immanuel was an important theme in the reception as can be seen in
Chronicles and Ben Sira as well as in rabbinical writings. The
central event which makes Hezekiah such an important figure, was
the annihilation of the Assyrian army as recounted in Isaiah 36-37.
2 The Book of Isaiah was interpreted in apocalyptic milieu as the
Animal Apocalypse and Daniel show. Even though the Qumran writings
do not provide any coherent way to interpret Isaianic passages its
textual evidence shows how the community has found from the Book of
Isaiah different concepts to characterize the division of the
Jewish community to the righteous and sinful ones (cf. Isa 65-66).
3 Ezra and Nehemiah received inspiration from the theological
themes of Isaianic texts of Levitical singers which were later
edited in the Book of Isaiah by scribes. The formation of the Book
of Isaiah then went in its own way and its theology became
different from that in the Book of Ezra-Nehemiah.
