Yahweh Is Exalted in Justice

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A significant study of social justice and prophetic preaching, this remarkable book will appeal to students, pastors, and scholars alike. The urgent necessity of justice in all social realms of ancient Israel (legal, political, economic) remains equally urgent in today's world. Leclerc demonstrates the nuances of justice in the various portions of Isaiah deriving from different historical circumstances, but he also clearly demonstrates how the Book of Isaiah is united in its overarching vision of justice rooted in Yahweh's character and purposes. The author has done us a real service in providing this stimulating analysis of the historical, literary, and theological import of social justice in ancient Israel and the Book of Isaiah.”
