Die Monographie fragt nach der Einheit des Jesajabuches. Wollte die endgültige Textgestalt des Jesajabuches eine Antwort geben auf die Infragestellung der Treue YHWHs zu seinen Zusagen an David durch den Propheten Nathan (II Sam 7)? Der Hintergrund der Nathansweissagung - verankert vor allem im Bund zwischen dem Königshaus Davids und dem Haus YHWHs - bildet den roten Faden, der die Leser durch die 66 Kapitel des Jesajabuches leitet und es als Erbe der Verheißung darstellt. Der Sinnzuwachs durch die Endredaktion stellt umgekehrt auch die Frage nach der Rolle der Redaktoren in der prophetischen Literatur.

Texte du rabat

This monograph enquires into the unity of the Book of Isaiah. Was the final text of Isaiah intended to give an answer to the prophet Nathan's questioning of YHWH's faithfulness to his promises to David (II Sam 7)? The background to Nathan's prophecy - anchored above all in the union between the Royal House of David and the House of YHWH - forms the thread leading the reader through the 66 chapters of the Book of Isaiah and presenting it as the inheritance of the promise. The added meaning given by the final redaction in its turn poses the question of the role played by redactors in the prophetic literature.
