• W322120434 abstract "Reading Isaiah: Poetry and Vision. By Peter D. Quinn-Miscall. Louisville, Ky.: Westminster John Knox, 2001. vii + 224 pp. $20.95 (paper). Quinn-Miscall (Q-M) intends to provide an alternative to the conventional way of reading the book of Isaiah. Biblical scholars have long regarded this sprawling composition as relatively artificial combination of three different documents, each representing prophetic message from different time. According to the hypothesis, chapters 1-39 have as their core the speeches of ben Amoz, prophet from eighth-century Judah, to which various additions have been made. Chapters 40-55 contain the words of an anonymous prophetic figure-so-called II Isaiah-from the sixth-century Babylonian exile. And chapters 56-66 come from another anonymous prophetic figure-so-called III Isaiah-in the fifth-century Persian restoration. Each of these documents is approached more or less biographically, terms of which speeches can be attributed to each of these prophetic figures and how these speeches can be related to major developments of the prophet's own time. Q-M does not contest the claims of the three-Isaiah hypothesis, but he argues that any case the result is single comprehensive poetic vision. In this vision, Isaiah becomes symbolic representation of how the prophetic role is played various kinds of situations, rather than biographical representation of an individual prophet particular time and place. Readers should therefore approach the text so as to get some glimpse of the vision's vast expanse. After brief introductory chapter describing his goals and sketching the overall structure of the book, Q-M devotes chapter to each of the following: basic concepts, patterns of imagery, and cast of characters. In the concluding chapter, Q-M revisits some of the Isaianic topoi that have figured prominently the history of interpretation, such as Immanuel and the Servant, showing how they appear light of the approach he advocates. In chapter 1 he presents an outline that represents in summary form, [Isaiah's] content and styles and the issues and problems encountered reading it (p. 26). He divides the text into the following sections: 1:1-12:6; 13-23; 24-27; 28-33; 34-35; 36-39; 40:1-49:13; 49:14-54:17; 55-59; 60-62; 63-66. This structural analysis is meant to be an alternative to the conventional tripartite division of Isaiah, but its function is never explicitly discussed. In subsequent chapters Q-M occasionally analyzes other aspects of the text relation to this outline, but he does not discuss why this is appropriate some cases and not others. In general, the outline is simply a way to look at this large, complex work (p. 26). In chapter 2, Q-M treats major themes, or abstract concepts, which include evil and good, disaster and punishment, justice and righteousness, the remnant, and justice and mercy. He shows that these can be developed tension-filed as well as complementary ways, and that these themes permeate the entire book so as to conjure up visionary world that is cosmic and encyclopedic scope. In chapter 3, Q-M identifies recurrent patterns of imagery, such as the roadway, the wilderness, and the human body all its parts; the contrasts of light with darkness, blindness with sight, water with dryness, and wilderness with fertile land. He explores figurative ecology of cultivated fields, gardens, and domesticated animals, along with the figurative ecology of forests, uncultivated fields, and wild animals. …" @default.
