Of all the texts in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, perhaps no
book has a more colorful history of interpretation than Isaiah. A
comprehensive history of this interpretation between the prophet
Malachi and the first days of Christianity, Joseph Blenkinsopps
"Opening the Sealed Book" traces three different prophetic
traditions in Isaiah -- the man of God, the critic of social
structures, and the apocalyptic seer.
Blenkinsopp explores the place of Isaiah in Jewish sectarianism,
at Qumran, and among early Christians, touching on a number of its
themes, including exile, the remnant of Israel, martyrdom, and the
servant of the Lord. Encompassing several disciplines --
hermeneutics, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Second Temple studies,
Christian origins -- "Opening the Sealed Book" will appeal to
Jewish and Christian scholars as well as readers fascinated by the
intricate and influential prophetic visions of Isaiah.
