| Summary: | In Eating in Isaiah Andrew Abernethy employs a sequential-synchronic approach to explore the role of eating in the structure and message of the book of Isaiah. By focusing on 'scaffolding' chapters (Isaiah 1; 36¿́¿37; 55; 65-66), avenues open for exploring how eating operates within the major sections of Isaiah and how the motif enhances the book's coherence. Furthermore, occurrences of eating in Isaiah create networks of association that grant perspective on significant topics in the book's message, such as Zion, YHWH¿́¿s kingship, and YHWH's servants. Amidst growing scholarly interest in food and drink within biblical literature, Eating in Isaiah demonstrates how eating can operate at a literary level within a prophetic book Repentance, retribution, and sovereignty : eating in Isaiah 1 -- An imperial-retributive schema : eating in Isaiah 2-35 in light of Isaiah 1 as an introduction -- Imperial rhetoric and eating in Isaiah 36-7 -- Comfort food : eating in Isaiah 40-55 in association with Isaiah 1-39 -- In or out? : eating in Isaiah 65-66 as a conclusion to Isaiah. |
