| Summary: | The main thesis of this monograph, the revised version of the author’s doctoral thesis from 2006, is that the motif of the ‘Way of the Lord’ (WOL) has eschatological notions throughout the book of Isaiah. Lim thus challenges the common view that the WOL motif in Isaiah 40–55 refers to a literal way through the wilderness upon which the returning exiles will wander, while the later Isaiah 56–66 transforms it into a metaphor denoting an ethical way of living. Lim also rejects any firm dichotomy between a literal and figurative understanding of the WOL motif and instead maintains that the exiles’ return to Jerusalem is an integral part of its eschatological meaning., The introduction surveys various models for understanding the WOL motif in Isaiah 40–66. |
