Isaiah

the long version

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. Unlike many commentators who divide Isaiah between chapters 1-39 and 40-66, J. Alec Motyer instead identifies three messianic portraits: the King (1-37), the Servant (38-55) and the Anointed Conqueror (56-66). These three portraits are expounded in Motyer's lucid, insightful and probing commentary. - Back cover.
