Issues treated include discussion of the formal structure of the Book of Isaiah as a whole, the formation of each major segment of chapters 1-39, the compositional history of the book, the historical background, literary character, and theological perspective for each component of Isaiah 1-39, treatment of its distinctive language, and discussion of major elements of the reception history.
