| Summary: | The portrayal of history by Deutero-Isaiah presents problems for interpretation. Consequently, the prophet has been accused of not foretelling the future correctly. Various hermeneutical models have been proposed for interpreting the prophecy in order to overcome the difficulties of (1) understanding the interrelationship between literary units und (2) the spectacular portrayal of the future history of Israel, which was unrealistic and did not materialise in that way. Leene proposes understanding the text as a drama, performed to focus the attention on the present, while actualising the past and creating the future. This dramatic presentation is investigated as a reaction to the exile and as a coming to terms with the new cultural context relating to the understanding of time. |
