Description

"In this new volume Childs uses the book of Isaiah as a case study of the church's endeavor throughout history to understand its Scriptures." "In each chapter Childs focuses on a different Christian age, using the work of key figures to illustrate the church's changing views of Isaiah." "Of great value to scholars, ministers, and students, this book will also draw general readers into the exciting theological debate currently raging in the Christian church about the faithful interpretation of Scripture."--BOOK JACKET.
