The End from the Beginning: The Apocalyptic Vision of Isaiah - Taschenbuch

In the Book of Isaiah, the end of the world is foretold by events that occurred in the beginning, the future mirroring the past. Isaiah's literary structures make archetypes of Zion and Babylon and tell of a dramatic contest between good and evil.Avraham Gileadi's analysis of Isaiah convincingly reconciles Jewish and Christian concepts of the Messiah and demonstrates a dimension implicit in both: spiritual ascent upon a "ladder" to heaven.Professor David Noel Freedman of the University of California at San Diego considers Avraham Gilead "eminently qualified" and "far in advance of others" in the work of analyzing Isaiah. Professor R. K. Harrison (dec'd.), recently of Wycliffe College, Toronto, Canada, considers Avraham Gileadi's scholarship "impeccable" and "at the cutting edge of all studies undertaken in the Book of Isaiah".
