Description
Summary:The book of Isaiah contains a more comprehensive treatment of the rest of the nations of the world than do most of the other biblical prophetic books. It addresses the nations in a variety of ways, but when this variety is looked at in the light of the present structure of the book, it may be argued that Israel's relationship to the nations becomes the skeleton around which the book's theology is structured. This article seeks to explore how that structuring takes place and how it affects both the purpose and the message of the book in its present form.
