In this work, Professor Sawyer opens a ''third track'' of reading, which concerns the actual practice of the church in using the book of Isaiah, and appeals to but runs well beyond both ''historical-critical'' and ''canonical'' perspectives.
A new type of commentary on familiar language and imagery from the Bible, showing how Isaiah has been used in all kinds of contexts to the present. Fully documented and illustrated, Sawyer gives an insight into Isaiah's influence, from the cult of the Virgin Mary and anti-semitism to Christian feminism and liberation theology.
