The material that's already on this page represents my preliminary attempt to come to grips with the size, complexity and ambiguity
of the prophet Yeshaya. In an effort to approach the problem systematically, I first summarized the entire book, chapter by chapter.
Realizing that the chapter divisions we commonly use do not always reflect the work's actual thematic units, I identified the various
transition points within each chapter, briefly describing the contents of each unit. This summary can be seen here.
However, as is readily apparent to any attentive student of Yeshaya, a single passage seldom represents all of the prophet's thoughts
on a matter. To this end, I've also compiled this thematic index through which
I intend to focus on particular moral themes in their full context.
Here are drafts of the first essays:
