“THE VISION OF ISAIAH” (Isa 1:1) expands vastly in these chapters, which date from a period some two centuries after Isaiah of Jerusalem. Thus, they show with striking clarity how a given prophetic tradition continued to command attention among new generations of hearers and to develop in new situations—specifically, in the last years of the Babylonian exile (Isa 40–55) and in postexilic Jerusalem (Isa 56–66). These chapters merit heightened attention even now, because they focus on an experience that is tragically common in our time: geographical and cultural displacement on a massive scale. They deal also with the subsequent difficulties of rebuilding a culture and sustaining faith. Accordingly, these chapters are the first part of the Bible to offer a developed theological response to a particular spiritual despair: that God has turned away or is impotent.
