Recent research on the book of Isaiah has been dominated by
discussions of its unity and authorship. Professor Williamson's
important study provides a major and highly original contribution
to these key issues, and is based upon a more rigorous methodology
than ever used before. Isaiah is usually regarded as the work of
two authors - the so-called 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 togather
as a complete whole. This innovative and scholarly work, which
sheds much new light on some of the more neglected passages, has
had significant implications for future work on this much-loved
prophetic book.
