"This collection of cutting-edge essays by eminent scholars at once advances dialogue between European and American scholars and provides a fitting tribute to one of the most prolific interpreters of Isaiah in this generation."

"For anyone interested in the book of Isaiah, this volume provides a wealth of studies (as well as a warm and witty appreciation of Joseph Blenkinsopp by Philip Davies). . . . This collection not only honors a major scholar in the field but also makes its own original contribution, which all future students of Isaiah will need to take account of."

Mark S. Smith

"A series of significant studies treating Isaian texts and issues, these essays offer a wealth of diachronic and synchronic observations, broad thematic considerations, and studies of words and phrases. Most are written by leading biblical scholars and address fundamental questions. Highly recommended."

Chris Franke
—St. Catherine University
"A positive view in this volume of the role of redactors as creators in their own right marks a new perspective on the relationship between the three major sections of the book of Isaiah. The bibliographic entries are invaluable for current Isaiah studies."
