N1  - Revised version of the author's dissertation (Wycliffe College, 2013) under the title "The theological reception of the book of Isaiah in the nineteenth-century Church of England"; Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-254) and index
N2  - "The church in the West has subsisted for five hundred years in a state of ever-increasing multiple identities, many of which claim to be the best representation of the church established by Christ. Often attending novel models of the church are new scriptural interpretive methods that support theological claims.  Rarely, however, has an exploration been undertaken to test the impact of the ecclesiological division on the reading of the Bible. A darkened reading explores the specific case of the nineteenth-century Church of England and competing interpretations of the book of the prophet Isaiah-- a book of great importance in theological history-- as a kind of parable of the existential anguish the church has experienced as a consequence of being torn apart."-- back cover
