Riassunto

Excerpt from The Composition of the Book of Isaiah in the Light of History and Archaeology

The three lectures contained in this volume, which were delivered in the summer of 1909 as the second annual course of the Schweich Lectures, are an attempt to tell in a simple way the story of the book of Isaiah, and are not to be regarded as a commentary upon the book. In many cases I have been content merely to indicate, by means of quotations, that view of the origin and date of particular sections which commends itself to me, and I have made no attempt to give in detail the arguments for the theory which I have thus suggested. Had I done this, the length of the lectures would have been enormously increased, and the amount of detail would, in all probability, have tended to distract attention from the points which I desire particularly to make prominent. I have intentionally ab stained from multiplying references, especially hen referring to uncontroverted facts which are not of vital importance to my argu ment. Although no discussion of the problems of the book of Isaiah can be altogether adequate which is not based on the original Hebrew, I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to keep before myself the needs of English readers.
