The Prophecy of Isaiah

Along the historical timeline on which the Isaianic prophecies are strung, Motyer finds three central and recurring themes: the messianic hope, the motif of the city and the theology of the Holy One of Israel. Moreover, he argues, the Isaianic literature is organized around three messianic portraits: the King (Isaiah 1-37), the Servant (Isaiah 38-55) and the Anointed Conqueror (Isaiah 56-66). In this wise, winsome, and welcome guide to the prophecy of Isaiah, preachers, teachers and serious Bible students of all types will find: - A wealth of commentary and perspective drawn from over three decades of study and teaching, - An emphasis on the grammatical, historical, structural, literary, and theological dimensions of the text, and - Commentary that easily accommodates readers without a working knowledge of biblical Hebrew and speaks to Isaiah's meaning for Christians today. This may easily be the best one-volume evangelical commentary on Isaiah available today.
