Reviews
Can and do texts concerned with judgment, suffering, compassion, and hope written thousands of years ago still speak to us today? Nixon de Vera believes that they can, and in this theological reflection on the book of Isaiah he shows us some ways that they might do so--however uncomfortable, unpopular, and chastening the hearing of such might at times be. --Jason Goroncy, Senior Lecturer in Systematic Theology, Whitley College, University of Divinity One cannot really understand the New Testament as a whole if one fails to pay attention to how thoroughly the book of Isaiah pervades its language, and specifically that concerning eschatological hope. Nixon de Vera's book is a wonderfully deep dive into that language, one that brings all sorts of unexpected and lovely treasures back to the surface. And it will almost certainly transform any reader's vision of the texts of Christian Scripture. --David Bentley Hart, philosopher, theologian, and best-selling author
