Hanson's commentary is disappointing for one major reason: as part of the Interpretation series it is supposed to offer the preacher or teacher homiletical and applicational insights from the text of Scripture as we have it today. Hanson seems to get too bogged down in discussions of II and III Isaiah to actually give the preacher or teacher such insights. When he does, they stem not from the actual text from Isaiah, but from Hanson's historical-critical interpretations of that text.
