C. L. Crouch and Christopher B. Hays introduce the Book of Isaiah in its diverse historical contexts, tracing its origins and development over several centuries: beginning with the career of the prophet Isaiah ben Amoz in eighth century Jerusalem, continuing with a late seventh century edition and the further revisions made in the late sixth century, and concluding with final shaping during the Persian Period. At each stage Crouch and Hays pay close attention to the historical, cultural, and theological conversations that influenced the book's aims and interests. Crouch and Hays discuss the theological and literary continuities among the book's contributors, as well as where language and concerns differed from generation to generation. They also consider the reception history of Isaiah and what the text has meant to people through history.With suggestions of further reading at the end of each chapter, this guide will be an essential accompaniment to study of the Book of Isaiah.

One cannot imagine a better duo for this volume than Crouch and Hays, both of whom are leading scholars in the prophetic corpus generally and in Isaiah studies specifically. Here they combine their many gifts—vast knowledge, lucid prose, and obvious pedagogical expertise—to produce an ideal introduction to one of the most important and complicated books in the Hebrew Bible. The result is both up-to-date and informative, covering the historical context and theological themes of Isaiah across four centuries (readers will find the chapter on the seventh century especially intriguing). Here is a volume I will refer (and refer others) to often.
