Way Metaphors and Way Topics in Isaiah 40-55
Seiten
Øystein Lund stellt einen neuen Ansatz zur Interpretation der Textstellen in Jesaja 40-55 vor, die sich mit den Themen Weg und Transformation der Wüste befassen. Er zeigt, daß die meisten dieser Textstellen zusammenhängen und metaphorisch gelesen die Weg-Situation des Volkes Israel erläutern.
Øystein Lund gives a new approach to texts in Isaiah 40-55 that deal with ways and desert transformation. Earlier exegesis has mainly read these texts in a literal way. In recent years, exegetes have pointed out that the so-called 'exodus texts' should rather be interpreted metaphorically. The author supports this, and accordingly seeks to continue this discourse by systematizing, intensifying, and deepening the argumentation for a metaphorical reading. He argues that most of the way-texts in Isaiah 40-55 are interrelated, and gradually contribute to explore questions regarding the way-situation of the people. The way-theme appears in the prologue, and in 40:27 a problem approach is established when the people is addressed: "How can you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, 'My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right passes by my God'"? Several subsequent way-texts are related to this text, and together these draw a coherent picture in which the problematic way-situation of the people in the past and present is transformed. JHWH establishes new ways in which he leads his people through their difficult landscape. Øystein Lund argues that such a coherent reading of the way-texts gives good meaning, which is consistent with the over all message of Isaiah 40-55.
