“Isaiah has his feet rooted in the past, and for him that past is not too distant. Amos and Hosea go back to Moses but Isaiah finds the real beginning of things in the glories of David's reign. He is essentially patrician and his ideal reflects the pride of birth. Micah from the western plains will give us a democratic ideal of the golden age, but Isaiah cannot forget his preference for ‘blue blood.’”
Patterson’s survey of the Hebrew prophets, setting each prophet in his historical background, relating what is known of him personally, and marking his significance in the history and religion of Israel.
