The second of John N. Oswalt's two-part study of the book of Isaiah for the NICOT series, this commentary provides exegetical and theological exposition on the latter twenty-seven chapters of Isaiah for scholars, pastors, and students.

The following Studies from the elaboration of a course of lectures given in Cambridge last year (1915) to the students who came up for the Vacation Term for Biblical Study. The Studies have, with three, exceptions been selected with the object of dealing with such subjects as, from their nature, cannot be discussed at much length in Commentaries; this applies more especially to the doctrinal and archaeological Studies, which take up the major part of the following pages. - From the Preface

Enthält: Vol. 1: Isaiah 1-39; Vol. 2: Isaiah 40-66.

By examining literary allusion in Isaiah 40-66, the author illuminates the changes that led to the demise of biblical prophecy and the rise of hermeneutically based religions in the post-biblical era.
