The Theme of Hardening in the Book of Isaiah

The theme of hardening in the Book of Isaiah is reexamined through a communicative lens, focusing on the prophet Isaiah's call to dull the people's senses. Torsten Uhlig presents a fresh interpretation that connects hardening to the broader context of righteousness. By analyzing the communicative acts involved, he sheds light on the role of these passages within larger narrative strategies. This monograph aims to enhance the understanding of Isaiah's messages and their implications for the text as a whole, offering a unique contribution to biblical interpretation.
