The eighth century BCE Isaiah of Jerusalem, the so-called First
Isaiah, is one of the most important theological voices in the
Bible. J. J. M. Roberts takes a classical historical-critical
approach to his interpretation of this material, making good use of
his broad comparative knowledge of ancient Near Eastern historical
and religious sources. In light of Isaiah's very long prophetic
ministry of at least thirty-eight years, and perhaps as long as
fifty-three years, Roberts also suggests Isaiah often reedited
older oracles from early in his ministry to address new, though
somewhat analogous situations, albeit with different players, later
in his ministry, without erasing telltale signs of the material's
earlier origin. In many cases, this suggestion provides a better
explanation for glaring inconsistencies in an apparently connected
text than the common fragmentation of the text that attributes such
inconsistencies to later editors who either misunderstood or
intentionally altered Isaiah's message for their own purposes.
