The essays herein are a result of the lively discussions of the Formation of the Book of Isaiah Seminar of the Society of Biblical Literature. The editors of this volume are grateful to the members of the Seminar for having stimulated the debate, much of which is reflected in these papers. We are also grateful to David Lull and the SBL Program Committee for their assistance to the Seminar and for their encouragement of its scholarly work. We are especially appreciative of the invitation by David Clines to produce this volume and for his patient guidance during its preparation. Hearty thanks go to Paula Jonse for her skill, hard work, and good humor in preparing the manuscript to be sent to the printer. A special debt is owed to Ronald Clements, whose writings have been important in the Seminar's discussions and whose leadership in the founding of the Seminar was invaluable. We dedicate these essays to him as a sign of our respect and affection. Marvin A. Sweeney Roy F. Melugin ABBREVIATIONS AB Anchor Bible AcOr Acta orientalia AnBib Analecta biblica ANET J.B.
