Abstract This volume offers an up-to-date guide to the study of Isaiah 1-39 for students and scholars in the field of Hebrew Bible studies. Marvin Sweeney provides discussion of the role of these chapters within the Book of Isaiah as a whole together with discussion of each of the major segments of Isaiah 1-39 and their component parts. 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. Overall, the discussion demonstrates how Isaiah 1-39 and the Book of Isaiah as a whole emerged as one of the most important works of the Hebrew Bible.
