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 "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 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.

Great for laypeople

I wasn't sure whether to get this version or Motyer's longer version, but I went with this one. As a lay person looking to better understand Isaiah, this has been very helpful. I expected it to be brief but his comments usually go into just the right amount of detail that I needed.

great book

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.

Isaiah clearly explained in light of the 21st century.

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2010

Verified Purchase

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.

Excellent for the learned. Difficult for the learner.

This is an excellent commentary for somebody in the intermediate to the advanced level of study. But for the average layperson, it is pretty involved.

Old Testament scholars love this book (and all the others in the series) for its clarity of
language in a complex field. This edition is so user-friendly it seems to make the subject
more comprehensible.

Excellent commentary

If you want a really detailed, in depth scholarly study of Isaiah and the other books of the bible I have found this series to be by far the best, I'd say if what I've described is what you are after, then look no further, a really sublime study of Isaiah.

Cela fait des années que j'attendais cette oeuvre. Je ne suis pas déçu de l'attente. Bon ouvrage.
That's a long time I was waiting for its completion and publishing. I have not been disapointed, it's a very good study.
