Purpose of the Study
This work aims:
- To explain Isaiah’s vision of peace from the prism of eschatology.
- To give an exegesis of the Isa 2:1-5.
- To investigate the eschatological elements of the passage.
- To apply the theology of Isaiah 2:1-5 as a model of peace to the society.
1.4. Scope of the Study
This work begins with an exegetical analysis of Isa 2:1-5, which constitutes the nucleus of Isaiah’s Oracle of Peace. Since the Isaian gospel of peace is not exhausted by Isa 2:1-5, this work will extend investigation to other Isaian passages pertinent to the discussions on peace among humans. The work will also study the topic within the backdrop of the Isaiah eschatology. At the end, we shall make a theological synthesis of the pericope and assess the on-going relevance of the Isaian vision of peace to the Nigerian context. 1.5.
Significance of the Study
In a world where conflict, violence and the threat of war are prevalent, this study is of manifold significance. Its relevance lies in its target at proffering plausible solutions to the problem of conflicts in the society. In a society where hateful and divisive ideologies provoke conflicts, this work is an effort to ginger a positive change in our relational attitude towards one another, and among nations. The research opened up new approach to peace. It recognized disarmament and a change of mentality as a way to peace. The work will be a useful resource material both to scholars and students of the Old Testament as well as to experts in conflict and peace studies.
1.6. Methodology
This study adopts a synchronic approach in biblical exegesis. The synchronic method studies the text as it exists in the final form, that is, the Bible as we have it today, unlike the diachronic method which is concerned the development of texts through time. The study follows a verse to verse exegesis of Isa 2:1-5 so as to draw out the real meaning contained in the text. On few occasions, however, the researcher shall not hesitate to employ the diachronic method when it becomes necessary. This will be done in so far as it can help shed light on the synchronic study of the pericope. The Hebrew Bible Stuttgartensia (BHS), the Septuagint (LXX), New Revised Standard Version (NRS), Hebrew Lexicons, Journals, and Commentaries on the Bible and internet sources are used as source materials for this work. This work makes use of intercultural hermeneutics in the application of the message.
