Bible's most beautiful poetry-#20 of Yale's Anchor Bible series "Second Isaiah"

"Nothing is known about this prophet, not even his name," one biblical commentator writes. "We can only say that there has not arisen a greater prophet than 'Second Isaiah.' He is the most creative thinker we have as yet met in the Bible. The sweep of his thought is truly thrilling." The poetry contained in this volume is intensely lyrical. The prophet addresses the Jewish people exiled in Babylonia after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 587 B.C. This is a hardcover library edition, protected by plastic over original dust jacket, library markings on first and last pages, otherwise unmarked text. Volumes in this prestigious series commonly sell for $35 and up. Sold as is.
