Recent research on the book of Isaiah has been dominated by
discussions of its unity and authorship. Professor Williamson's
important new study provides a major and highly original
contribution to these key issues, and is based upon a more rigorous
methodology than used ever before. Isaiah is usually regarded as
the work of several authors, including prominently Isaiah of
Jerusalem (Isaiah 1-39) and Deutero-Isaiah (the author of Isaiah
40-55). Professor Williamson argues that the author of Isaiah 40-55
was in fact strongly influenced by the work of the earlier writer.
Secondly, he demonstrates that the earlier work was regarded as a
book which had been sealed up until the time when judgement was
past and the day of salvation had arrived, and that Deutero-Isaiah
believed himself to be heralding the arrival of that day. Thirdly,
and most provocatively, Professor Williamson argues that
Deutero-Isaiah both included and edited a version of the earlier
prophecies along with his own, intending from the start that they
should be read together as a complete whole. This innovative and
scholarly work, which sheds much new light on some of the more
neglected passages in Isaiah, is certain to have significant
implications for the future interpretation of this much-loved
prophetic book.
