A Study Commentary on Isaiah

Isaiah's messianic descriptions are fuller than many in the Gospels, and his prophecy is quoted in the New Testament more than any other Old Testament book except Psalms. Volume 1 of this commentary covers the first thirty-nine chapters of Isaiah, which record the prophet's ministry against the background of the ever-present threat posed by the mighty Assyrian Empire, culminating with God's deliverance of the southern kingdom of Judah in the time of Hezekiah. The section concludes with a warning of the Babylonian exile, thus providing a link with the later chapters, in which the prophet's vision will be drawn forward to a time when Yahweh will again intervene to deliver his people and ultimately to the coming of Christ. - Back cover.
