Summary: "The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Isaiah, Volume 2" by George Adam Smith is a theological exposition written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the exploration of the prophecies contained in the latter section of the Book of Isaiah, specifically chapters 40 to 66, a period esteemed for its significance as the people of Israel stand in exile. The work delves into critical themes such as monotheism, the nature of God, the identity of Israel, and the concept of the Servant of the Lord, aiming to provide readers with a deeper understanding of these prophecies and their implications for both the ancient context and contemporary faith. The opening of this volume sets the stage by introducing the context of the Israelite exile and its theological ramifications. It addresses how the latter chapters of Isaiah serve a different audience than those of the first part, reflecting on a people displaced from their homeland, stripped of civic responsibilities, and grappling with their identity in a foreign land. The text emphasizes the shift in focus from political and social righteousness to an expectation of divine vindication and redemption, highlighting the historical significance of their collective memory and future hope. The author discusses the development of monotheism and the evolution of Israel's faith amid their suffering, suggesting that the hardships of exile offered unique insights into their relationship with God and the world.
