| Summary: | This wide-ranging collection of studies in the history of interpretation evolved out of the ‘Formation of the Book of Isaiah’ Seminar, a feature of the American Society of Biblical Literature programme since the early 1990s. A useful introductory chapter by the editors, with the title ‘Remembering the Former Things’ (Isa. 46:9), comments on the ‘chronological snobbery’ (C. S. Lewis) of much modern scholarship and celebrates the recent rediscovery by biblical scholars of earlier interpreters. These are ‘sociologically closer to the original communities of Scripture’ (p. 9), and often provide new insights and inspiration, even in relation to the most familiar passages, in the academy as well as in church and synagogue. |
