THE IMMANUEL PROPHECY AT THE CROSSROADS OF EXEGESIS, HERMENEUTICS, AND BIBLE TRANSLATION

ABSTRACT: In This Study Of The Immanuel Prophecy Of Isaiah 7:14 And Its Reception, I Will Show How The Relation Of Exegetical, Hermeneutical, And Translational Decisions Influences The Process Of Understanding Before Any Translation Is Done. I Wish To Maintain That Matthew’s Use Of Isaiah 7 Is Coherent With Its Wording And Logic. I Would Like To Invite Translators And Exegetes To Determine Textual And Exegetical Matters Under Theological Premises, That Is, Under A Biblical Hierarchy Of Authority.
