T&T Clark Study Guides: Isaiah 56–66
Overview
Grace Emmerson has described Trito-Isaiah, chapters 56–66, as “a bewildering medley of denunciation and promise, warning and hope, lament and confidence,” and she is not alone in regarding its eleven chapters as being a “miscellany of prophecies.” The importance of the message, the balance and artistry of the structure and the impressive quality of the poetic imagery are inversely proportional to the scant attention which these last chapters are often paid, in comparison to the rest of the book of Isaiah. Emmerson also stresses that the use of the expression “Third Isaiah” does not prejudge the question of single or multiple authorship, but is merely a convenient way of referring to chapters 56–66.
