"'Isaiah in the New Testament' brings together a set of specially commissioned studies by authors who are experts in the field. After an introductory chapter on the use of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls and second temple literature, each of the New Testament books that contain quotations from Isaiah are discussed: Matthew, Mark, Q, Luke-Acts, John, Romans & Galatians, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Hebrews, 1 Peter, Revelation. The book provides an overview of the status, role and function of Isaiah in the first century. It considers the Greek and Hebrew manuscript traditions and offers insights into the various hermeneutical stances of the New Testament authors and the development of New Testament theology."
"This fascinating collection of commissioned studies is the second in a series of volumes looking in detail at the way three 'core texts' from the Hebrew Scriptures are used in the NT... well presented and clearly argued... there is much here that could inform contemporary preaching and Christian reflection." JSNTS Booklist 2007, Alan Le Grys--Sanford Lakoff
