One of the pivotal figures of this middle ground was J. C. K. von Hofmann of Erlangen, who waged a battle against positions to his right and left. Unfortunately, he did not write a commentary on Isaiah and thus falls outside the parameters of this study. Still, serious attention must be paid to him. The broad lines of his thought on the Old Testament prophets can be seen in his two important works, Weissagung and Erfullung and Der Schriftbeweis, both of which contain sections on Isaiah.
