A Biblical Theology of the Book of Isaiah
Kennard summarizes the central message of the book of Isaiah as being that \"sovereign Yahweh judges all the earth and Israel for the purpose of recreating them into his ideal kingdom centered in Jerusalem under the messianic Davidic servant-king\" (p. 7). Because he limits his inquiry to the book of Isaiah itself, Kennard's focus is on the canonical form of the text rather than on hypothetical sources stitched together into the final form of the book. Even though he seems to approach Deuteronomic History as a theological principle rather than a source- critical theory, the discussion is still confusing because most scholarship on Deuteronomic History understands the literature composing it to come from the postexilic period. While the lack of significant discussion of methodology limits the book, readers will in each of Kennard's chapters find helpful material that is related to the interpretation of Isaiah.
