Isaiah 1-12 by Otto Kaiser - 1983: A Commentary

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine and edges of the cover boards. There is slight bumping on the corners of the cover boards. There is some staining on the front, back, spine and edges of the cover boards. The lettering on the outside of the cover boards is fading. The previous owners name is affixed to the inside of the front cover board and the previous owners seal is stamped on the front end page.

"This commentary follows a consistent course in the critical approach which it adopts. Over a decade I have arrived at the view which differs fundamentally from previous literary assessments of the book of Isaiah. My understanding of the so-called memorial of the prophet Isaiah on his activity at the time of the Syro-Ephraimite war (6.1-9.6) is fundamental in this respect. Once one allows that this is a composition aimed at coming to terms with the exile in the sixth century, the rest follows almost automatically. Perhaps, therefore, I may be excused for having paid special attention to the elucidation of these chapters...." - Preface from The Old Testament Library's Isaiah 1-12: A Commentary
