Abstract: On the basis of an up-to-date assessment of ancient Near Eastern beliefs about death during the Iron Age II, Christopher B. Hays analyzes the ways in which death functioned rhetorically in the Hebrew Bible. He identifies death and deliverance from death as major themes in the early strata of the book of Isaiah, offering fresh interpretations of more than a dozen passages in Isa 5-38, and showing how they illumine and are illumined by their contexts.
