You had me until the last sentence. I have not looked at this commentary in
10 years, but in his commentary on Exodus he certainly examines all of the
historical critical issues AND the historical context. I cannot imagine that
he did not at least examine the historical context/message of Isaiah. Maybe
he did, but I would be surprised...
