No other prophetic book rivals Isaiah's clear message, powerful imagery and confident hope in God's future deliverance. In this cogent, section-by-section commentary, Wegner explores Isaiah's vision of God's glory and holiness, highlighting the unified message of the book with its three introductions and refrains. Showing how both parts illuminate God's glorious plan for his people and its relevance for today, this book is perfect for anyone wanting to dig deeper into Isaiah.
The Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, they continue to aim at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.
