Description: English summary: Isaiah ben Amoz, the prophet from Jerusalem living in the last third of the eighth century B.C., is one of the most prominent figures of biblical literature and its reception. But whoever wishes to approach the prophet will first have to turn to the book that carries his name: Yesha'yahu = JHWH saves.
