Enlarge the Site of Your Tent: The City As Unifying Theme in Isaiah (Oudtestamentische Studien/ Old Testament Studies)

In the year 2000, the first OTS volume by the "Jesaja Werkplaats" was published, entitled: "Studies in Isaiah 24-27" (OTS 43). In the present volume, the question as to the possible unity of the book Isaiah forms the centre of the "Jesaja Werkplaats" interest. In order to gain a better insight into this question, the "Jesaja Werkplaats" has decided on a fixed starting point: the concept of the city within the book Isaiah. This concept not only has a literary meaning, but also a historical one. Examining the city, therefore, demands various exegetical approaches, overcoming the classical dichotomy between diachrony and synchrony. This volume offers an intriguing variety of contributions on the city throughout the entire book Isaiah."
