in his new introduction to chapters 40-66, Delitzsch offers a different emphasis. He downplays his shift regarding the authorship of Second Isaiah, claiming that for him it involved little of hermeneutical significance. He suggests that he had never found anything objectionable in the view that the book of Isaiah contained prophecies later than Isaiah's. Indeed, he had always treated chapters 40-6o as addressed to the exiles. (This response seems a bit disingenuous considering the intensity of his earlier opposition to dual authorship.)
