New Publication on Isaiah, Kings and Chronicles

The follow publication was just published online, open-access:

Giffone, Benjamin D. “Toward a Better ‘Hezekiah’: The Literary Structuring of Isaiah 1–39.” Old Testament Essays 36.2 (2023): 471–489. DOI: 10.17159/2312-3621/2023/v36n2a10.

It doesn’t look like the DOI is working immediately, but you can view the essay here.

This paper has been a long-time in coming. It originated in discussions with Gary Schnittjer, and the students in my course on Isaiah at Cairn University (January 2011). I blogged about it here, many years ago.

I set it aside for a long time, then presented another version to the OT Prophets section at the International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament (Aberdeen, 2019).

Finally, I worked out some of these ideas further in a Fall 2021 course on Isaiah at LCC International University. I really appreciated the conversations with those students–conversations that continue to resonate in other publications, papers in review, and work that I’m doing now. Teaching and research together–a great combination!
