Isaiah

Fyall closes his commentary looking ahead: “Isaiah looked to the rule of God in which Immanuel would reveal himself in all his splendour in the new Jerusalem” (p. 416). The short bibliography (un-annotated, unlike some in other ESVEC volumes I’ve read) is useful for a ‘what next’ for the pastor and preacher. Overall, then, this is a strong shorter commentary on Isaiah. I read it alongside Paul Wegner’s new Tyndale Old Testament Commentary, and found that they complemented each other: Wegner is in my view better on the technical and exegetical stuff, whilst Fyall struck a more devotional and discipleship tone.
