The Struggle to Understand Isaiah as Christian Scripture
VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: The Struggle to Understand Isaiah as Christian Scripture Summary: The author Brevard Childs focuses on a different Christian age, using the work of key figures to illustrate the church's changing views of Isaiah. After looking at the translation of the Septuagint, Childs examines commentaries and tractates from the patristic, Reformation, and modern periods. His review shows that despite an enormous diversity in time, culture, nationality, and audience, these works nevertheless display a "family resemblance" in their theological understandings of this central Old Testament text. It also reveals how the church struggled to adapt to changing social and historical conditions, often by correcting or refining traditional methodologies, while at the same time maintaining a theological stance measured by faithfulness to Jesus Christ. In an important final chapter Childs draws out some implications his work for modern debates about the role of Scripture in church life and ecumenical endeavours. Author: Brevard S.
