Synopsis

Excerpt from Syntax of the Sentences in Isaiah, 40-66: A Dissertation

The summaries in the following pages represent in part the results of a systematic study of the syntax of sentences in Isaiah, chaps. 40 - 66. My object was to investigate the different kinds of sentences and classify the results. This was done without reference to the literary and critical problems connected with the book.

The purpose of the tables is twofold: first, to present some of the more interesting stylistic and syntactical characteristics of these chapters; second, to show their bearing on the question of the unity of the book. Syntax may not be the strongest argument in a discussion of literary authorship; it has nevertheless at least as much weight, if not more than enumeration of words and phrases. For it has been correctly observed that syntax indicates more clearly a writer's method of thinking than does his choice of words and phrases.
