description: 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.
