Rhetoric ad Social Justice in Isaiah applies a literary methodology
to the book of Isaiah in order critically to explore the nature and
sources of the social justice encoded in the world created by the
text. After a close reading of Isaiah 1: 16, 17, Gray establishes
grounds for a trajectory to Isaiah 58, preparatory to examining if
it offers a deepening of the concept of social justice in the
Isaianic corpus. Gray raises the issue of divine reliability to
assess the impact on the theme of social justice of the rhetoric of
universal punishment by the divine/prophetic voice. He evaluates
the ways the stark Isaianic dichotomy between reliance on God and
anything of human origin is affected by trust in God being
destabilized: if trust in God is demonstrated to be difficult on
account of legitimate doubts about divine justice, then the way is
opened for retaining an active human role in the search for
justice. Gray demonstrates the ways that social justice attains
primacy in Isaiah, the ways that humanity if given a role in
pursuing social justice, and the ways that Isaiah 58 impinges upon
the idea of social justice within the book as a whole.
