One of the most rewarding of recent approaches to the study of
Deutero-Isaiah has been the attempt to understand his teaching
against the background of his ministry to the second generation of
Jewish exiles in Babylonia. Two factors have been taken into
account: the nature of the Israelite religious tradition which the
exiles had inherited from the past, and the actual circumstances of
their life in Babylonia, where they were subject to the cultural
and religious pressures of their environment. Each of these may be
expected to have exercised some influence on the teaching of
Deutero-Isaiah. Dr Whybray's study of this one short passage has
been made in order to explore the relationships between the two
factors. The passage, which has long been the subject of vigorous
controversy, admirably raises the question of the sources of
Deutero-Isaiah's theology. This detailed study, which employs as
far as possible all the techniques of modern critical
investigation, is an attempt to shed some light on the
interpretation of Deutero-Isaiah as a whole.
