The book of Isaiah is perhaps the most compelling of all Old Testament prophecy. No other prophet rivals Isaiah's brilliance of style, powerful imagery and clear vision of the messianic hope. Isaiah's prophetic ministry begins with his temple vision and calling: "I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send?'" Through a series of oracles Isaiah calls Israel and the nations to turn to the Lord, for judgment is coming. He announces that redemption is found in the Davidic Servant alone. Finally, in the "day of vengeance and the year of redemption" the Anointed Conqueror will punish rebellious peoples, comfort the contrite and reestablish the glory of Zion. J. Alec Motyer, author of the unparalleled one-volume commentary The Prophecy of Isaiah, now provides the long-awaited final volume in the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary Series. Unlike many Isaiah commentators who divide the book between chapters 1-39 and 40-66, Motyer instead identifies three messianic portraits: the King (Isaiah 1-37), the Servant (Isaiah 38-55), and the Anointed Conqueror (Isaiah 56-66). This volume provides Motyer's lucid exposition on these three portraits, examining Isaiah with insightful and probing passage-by-passage commentary. All who study the text of Isaiah will find here expert scholarship and solid footing for unraveling difficult issues of exegesis and interpretation. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.

Isaiah finally explained!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Isaiah (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries) (Paperback)
This is a very good, in-depth study of the book of Isaiah. While not for the undeducated, it is an excellent verse-by-verse explanation of the history, background, and explanations of Isaiah's words. Brings a deeper understanding and appreciation for the prophetic wisdom and Holy Spirit guidance shown in this remarkable, and timely, book of the Bible.

This review is from: Isaiah (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries) (Hardcover)
This book of Isaiah from the Bible is the Old Testament book most quoted by Jesus and the apostles to explain the purpose of Jesus coming to earth as a man. The author, Mr. Motyer, is one of the leading Old Testament experts in the world today and is also a lucid writer. The book is small so I take it with me all the time to read and re-read.

This review is from: Isaiah (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries) (Paperback)
I purchased from amazon, book is new, in great condition and in my opinion just from skimming through the book has more information than explained in the description area. The book is great and informative and it is in a language everyone can understand. I recommend this book to whoever has inquiries about it. I received it fast in the mail earlier than expected delivery date. thanks again.
