First Isaiah and the Disappearance of the Gods

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the distinctive use of the term for "idols" in Isaiah 1-39, the book offers a fresh analysis of First Isaiah's rhetorical strategies. Matthew J. Lynch highlights a more pronounced monotheizing rhetoric, suggesting that the text's treatment of idolatry underscores a significant theological message. This examination not only sheds light on the text's linguistic features but also enhances the understanding of its broader implications in the context of ancient Israelite religion.
