In this podcast episode, the hosts delve into the historical portion of Isaiah that bridges the two parts of the prophetic work. They explore the possibilities of voices and redactions in this section, considering source criticism and document theory. They discuss how redaction is not about erasing or removing things from biblical texts, but rather about compiling and stitching together different stories and manuscripts. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the different voices and authors in the text, and how they may be in conversation with each other. The hosts also examine the challenges and critiques of source criticism, such as its self-referential nature and lack of hard evidence.
