Isaiah: The Eighth Century Prophet

In this study, Dr. Chikafu provides scholars, clergy, and interested laypersons a thorough treatment of the prophet Isaiah of Jerusalem. He uses the "galactic approach" and social conflict theory to examine the prophet's character and message. The study covers many facets of biblical scholarship, including the historical context of Isaiah's time and the phases of the prophet's ministry. The author also offers a case study of tribal unions in Africa and how this phenomenon can help readers understand the complexities that Isaiah of Jerusalem may have faced. The study concludes with a discussion of the value of the message of this unique prophetic figure and how a full understanding of Isaiah's message can have a positive impact on society today. The full bibliography at the end of the book will be useful for those who want to further their study of Isaiah.
