Reading The Book Of Isaiah: Destruction And Lament In The Holy Cities

Synopsis

Many scholars have approached both the origins of ancient city laments in some of the oldest Sumerian texts and how this genre found its way into the Tanakh/Old Testament. Randall Heskett goes a step further. He uses both historical criticism and a form-critical approach to analyze and assess Lamentation and Restoration of Destroyed Cities as oral traditions of ancient Israelite prophetic genres. He also shows how a later exilic/post-exilic redactional framework may have semantically transformed older prophetic genres about destruction and restoration to be reflexes of the events around 587 BCE.
