Way of the Lord in the Book of Isaiah

<p>What is the way of the LORD in the book of Isaiah? Many scholars have adopted Walter Zimmerli's proposal that the way in Second Isaiah is a literal and physical highway extending from Babylon to Jerusalem only to be reinterpreted as a spiritual metaphorical and pious way of living in Third Isaiah. This book will properly define each mention of the way in Isaiah as well as provide a coherent interpretation of this theme's theological significance within the book. <p/>The way of the LORD is initially conceived of in the 1st half of the book as a highway leading to Zion common to both the dispersed Israelites as well as the nations. In Isaiah Chs 34-35 provide a paradigm of what this way will entail and its theological significance.</p>
