Isaiah Old and New: Exegesis, Intertextuality, and Hermeneutics: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Isaiah Old and New: Exegesis, Intertextuality, and Hermeneutics" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Reading the Book of Isaiah in its original context is the crucial prerequisite for reading its citation and use in later interpretation, including the New Testament writings, argues Ben Witherington III. Here he offers pastors, teachers, and students an accessible commentary to Isaiah, as well as a reasoned consideration of how Isaiah was heard and read in early Christianity. By reading forward and backward Witherington advances the scholarly discussion of intertextuality and opens a new avenue for biblical theology.

Do you understand what you are reading? Philip asked.

How can I, he said, unless someone explains it to me?...

The eunuch [then] asked Philip, Tell me please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?

Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture [Isaiah 5253] and told him the Good News about Jesus. (Acts 8:3031, 3435)

Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
(1 Pet 1:1012)

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophets own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (2 Pet 1:2021)

Without the New Testament, the Old Testament would be a labyrinth without a clue, a syllogism without a conclusion, a torso without a heart, a moon without a sun, since Christ is the proper interpreter of the Old Testament. (Franz Delitzsch)

Old Testament texts do not first derive their truth from the New Testament. That would be totally out of keeping with the spirit of Acts 8.3435. For Philip did not answer, This word is fulfilled in Jesus! Or The Servant of Isaiah 53 is Jesus Christ! Rather he took Isaiah 53:78 as the starting point of his proclamation, which in turn led him beyond this Scripture passage. His preaching about Jesus the Christ is, so to speak, a continuation of the book of Isaiah. (Bernd Janowski)

THE ORACLE

Call them forth,
Call them forth,
From the passive past.
The soothsayers and truth sayers
The yea sayers and nay sayers
The foretellers and forthtellers,
Scanning the skies,
Hoping for the horizon,
Acting out the plan
Signing forth the ban
Boon or bane
Commendation or condemnation
Blessing or curse,
Let them wrap their mantles
Round their hoary heads
And cry: Thus sayeth the Lord
Once more.

Acknowledgments

A plethora of people have helped me understand Isaiah and its relationship to the New Testament over the last almost fifty years now. Dr. Bernard Boyd, my Bible Professor at UNC lit the fire, and Dr. Marvin Wilson at Gordon fanned the flame. John Rogerson at Durham showed me how to put more logs on the fire and keep it burning, and many OT colleagues along the way have kept handing me more Isaiah kindlingBill Arnold, Lawson Stone, Daniel Hawk, Daniel Johnson, John Oswalt, Sandy Richter, Katie Heffelfinger, John Cook, Michael Matlock, and so many more that Ive read over the many years of studying and teaching Isaiah. In regard to the issue of intertextuality I must thank my old friend Richard Hays and also Ross Wagner for pushing the envelope and making me open it in the first place.

This book would not have been completed in good time and in good order had it not been for the tireless services of my teaching assistant Joy Vaughan, who helped me so much with the revisions to the second edition of my Invitation to the New Testament. I must also thank Debbie Endean, another of our doctoral students, for weighing in on a part of this manuscript, and Kennedy Ekeocha, who provided two of the charts. Kudos to my old friend Todd Still and to Truett Seminary at Baylor for having me as a visiting professor during my sabbatical and for helping me find some hard-to-get resources for this book. The gaps and errors in this study are entirely mine. I hope that at least in a small way Isaiah 61 was true about me as I tried to write this booknamely, that the Spirit of the Lord was upon me to proclaim good news.
