About This Book

"Focusing on Yahweh, the "God of justice," Leclerc discusses how each of the three major parts of Isaiah emphasizes justice in a unique way. In Isaiah 1-39 justice is fidelity and judgment. In Isaiah 40-55 it is treated as a manifestation of Yahweh's sovereignty and incomparability; Yahweh and his Servant are the exclusive agents of justice. And in Isaiah 56-66 it is an obligation of the covenant that can be realized only in divine intervention. In addition to providing an overview of the importance of justice in the Hebrew Bible, Leclerc addresses liturgical issues through an analysis of those Isaiah passages that appear in the lectionary readings."--BOOK JACKET.
