Jesaja en die kanonvormingsproses vanaf die agste eeu voor Christus

摘要

Isaiah and the formation of the canon since the eighth century before Christ The canonisation of Isaiah's words was a complicated process in which different phenomena played a role. Due to politico-historical reasons Jerusalem received symbolic meaning in the Isaiah tradition. Isaiah himself started a prophetic tradition in which Jerusalem was linked to a growing Zion tradition and a monotheising theology of the universal power of God. This tradition became canonical and served as paradigm for understanding the fate of Jerusalem as expression of the sovereign power of God to chastise as well as redeem.
