Recipient of a Christianity Today 1994 Critics Choice Award Among Old Testament prophetic books no other equals Isaiah\'s brilliance of style and metaphor, its arresting vision of the Holy One of Israel and its kaleidoscopic vision of God\'s future restoration of Israel and the world.
It may easily be the best one-volume evangelical Commentary on Isaiah available today..
Preachers, teachers and serious Bible students of all types will find this Commentary a wise, winsome and welcome guide to the Prophecy of Isaiah.
Moreover, he argues, the Isaianic literature is organized around three messianic portraits: the King (Isaiah 1-37), the Servant (Isaiah 38-55) and the Anointed Conqueror (Isaiah 56-66).
Along the historical timeline on which the Isaianic prophecies are strung, Motyer finds three central and recurring themes: the messianic hope, the motif of the city and the theology of the Holy One of Israel.
And he writes with an interest in Isaiah\'s meaning for Christians today.
Though based on the Hebrew text, his exposition easily accomodates readers without a working knowledge of biblical Hebrew.
His emphasis is on the grammatical, historical, structural, literary and theological dimensions of the text.
Now, after over three decades of studying and teaching Isaiah, Alec Motyer presents a wealth of Commentary and perspective on this book.
