Joseph Blenkinsopp presents an intertextual reading of Isaiah and
the Psalms furthering his previous well-known work on the text of
Isaiah. Blenkinsopp argues that, read together, these two biblical
books can be shown to form a single religious vision, a way of
experiencing and articulating a commitment to the fundamentals of
the faith of Israel, with its own distinctive character.
Blenkinsopp shows how the emphasis in Isaiah and the Psalms is on
affect and emotion, the expression of joy and sorrow articulated in
music, singing, and dancing; in praise, thanksgiving and lament.
This represents a key difference from other parts of the Hebrew
Bible where the focus is more on the Law and on the covenant at
Sinai - in Isaiah and the Psalms these terms rarely occur, the
focus is instead on Zion and on the Temple. Blenkinsopp shows how
the temple singers, with their close connections with the circles
which transmitted and eventually committed to writing the Book of
Isaiah, demonstrate that the divine word is not incompatible with
other forms of religious experience and expression, affective and
even mystical, articulated and embodied in the performance of
music, song, ritual prayer, and dance. The beauty of the Psalms is
echoed strongly in Isaiah, and the Isaian vision of a Creator God,
Lord of nature and history beyond the bounds of Israel, is joyfully
proclaimed by the psalmists.
