~ John Goldingay and David Payne (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"'ICC has been the supreme English language Bible commentary series throughout the twentieth century, and the recent additions to it...maintain its reputation as the commentary of choice, the first volume to be pulled from the shelf when a really tricky issue of exegesis or exposition is involved or an authoritative survey of historical and recent scholarly interpretation is sought on any particular passage.' Professor James Dunn, University of Durham"

Product Description

For over one hundred years, "International Critical Commentaries" have had a special place among works on the Bible. They bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological - to help the reader understand the meaning of the books of the Old and New Testaments. The new commentaries continue this tradition. All new evidence now available is incorporated and new methods of study are applied. The authors are of the highest international standing. No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exhaustive coverage of the so-called Second Isaiah, April 6, 2007

By	Commentary Surveyor (Stoughton MA) - See all my reviews

Needless to say, the combined 900 pages (including Isaiah 40-55 Vol 1: A Critical and Exegetical Commentary (International Critical Commentary) (Hardcover) (International Critical Commentary)) will be the benchmark for further studies on these 16 chapters. Reflecting an evangelical-critical perspective, Goldingay suggests the prophet Isaiah as progenitor for the author of 40-55. Not to be missed is the summary exposition of these two volumes, The Message of Isaiah 40-55: A Literary-theological Commentary.
