Title: Worthless for Biblical scholarship
Product review: This volume picks a *few* passages from Isaiah to "translate," supposedly from the Hebrew text, but the end product has little to do with the text or anything relevant to Biblical scholarship. It appears to integrate the author's subjective impressions with whatever contemporary application he happened to have at the moment. Isaiah 53, for example, is said to speak of a subject who is compared to an unnoticed, ordinary tree in a forest, to a piece of junk in a junk heap in a bad section of a city (or something to that effect), etc.Perhaps this book is of value for other purposes; I cannot think of what they might be.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
