Studies in Isaiah XL-LXVI: With an Introductory Chapter on the Composite Character of Isaiah I-XXXIX

The following Studies from the elaboration of a course of lectures given in Cambridge last year (1915) to the students who came up for the Vacation Term for Biblical Study. The Studies have, with three, exceptions been selected with the object of dealing with such subjects as, from their nature, cannot be discussed at much length in Commentaries; this applies more especially to the doctrinal and archaeological Studies, which take up the major part of the following pages.
- From the Preface

W. O. E. Oesterley (1866-1950) was awarded an honorary lectureship at King's College in 1923. In 1927, he was named Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Exegesis at King's until his retirement in 1936. Oesterley was a prolific author, especially in the history of religions and post-biblical Judaism.
