Explore the contemporary significance of the Old Testament and hear the Word of God afresh
Christianity Today 2024 Book Award Finalist (Biblical Studies)
The book of Isaiah has been regarded from the earliest Christian period as a key part of the Old Testament''s witness to Jesus Christ. This commentary by highly regarded Old Testament scholar J. Gordon McConville draws on the best of biblical scholarship as well as the Christian tradition to offer a substantive and useful commentary on Isaiah.
McConville treats Isaiah as an ancient Israelite document that speaks to twenty-first-century Christians. He examines the text section by section and shows how the prophetic words are framed to persuade audiences.
In addition to paragraph-level commentary, all volumes of the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament series feature:
● A fresh translation of the Hebrew text
● Incisive comments based on the author''s translation
● Linguistic, historical, and canonical insights
● Concluding reflections
● Footnotes addressing technical matters
Pastors, teachers, and all serious students of the Bible will find here an accessible commentary that will serve as an excellent resource for their study.
Grounded in rigorous scholarship but useful for those who preach and teach, this volume is the second in a new series on the Prophets. Series volumes are both critically engaged and sensitive to the theological contributions of the text. Series editors are Mark J. Boda, McMaster Divinity College, and J. Gordon McConville, University of Gloucestershire.
