Overview

A Handbook on Isaiah, Volumes 1–2 concentrates on exegetical, linguistic, and cultural problems related to the translation Isaiah. Though the authors only address issues directly related to translation, many church leaders and interested Bible readers have found these Handbooks useful and informative, and we hope this volume will be no exception. The format of A Handbook on Isaiah follows the general pattern of earlier volumes in the series. The Revised Standard Version (RSV) and the Good News Bible (GNB) texts are presented in parallel columns, first in larger segments that will make possible an overview of each section of discourse, and then in bold print, normally verse by verse, followed by detailed comments and discussion.

“The eagle is thought to regain its youth after it molts and grows new feathers” (Page 1083)

“‘The Lord approved of his oppressed servant whom he had put to grief.’” (Page 1519)

“He will return to his people. Some commentators believe the road is for the people of Judah as the Lord leads them home from exile in Babylonia, but most scholars favor that it is for Yahweh coming to his people.” (Page 1043)

“The Hebrew verb rendered Remember means more than simply recalling something. It means keeping something in mind so that it affects how you live in the present (see the comments on this verb at 38:3).” (Page 1185)

“We are healed is a poetic way of describing restoration, the return to a state of well-being (see also 57:18–19). This expression is similar in meaning to made us whole.” (Page 1510)
