Authorizing an end : the Isaiah apocalypse and intertextuality

This work presents a postmodern approach to Jewish proto-apocalyptic literature, breaking with common views on this literature as directly reflecting certain social realities. Isaiah 24-27 supports second-Temple Judaism through successful management, rather than exegesis, of earlier texts and traditions.
