Expository notes on the Prophet Isaiah

This is Dr. Ironside's latest and we regretfully say last book: the crowning work of many years of ministry by this devoted servant of Christ. Here he is at his best in his inimitable flowing style of expression that has endeared him to a very large circle of readers. As elsewhere in all his ministry, he wisely uses the inherent rule of sound Bible exposition, that is, comparing Scripture with Scripture; communicating spiritual things by spiritual means, as laid down in 1 Corinthians 2:13-16. He presents his subject convincingly and in words to be readily understood on first reading. All this makes his exposition very helpful, edifying and refreshing for the average reader as well as to the most profound scholar. Young people's groups would particularly benefit from its study, for Isaiah is rich in stirring gospel appeal and moral teaching, as well as having the prophetic outlook in general. Wonderful indeed are such passages as: Woe is me! for I am undone" (Isaiah 6:5); "Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God" (40:1); "He was wounded for our transgressions" (53:5); and "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters" (55:1). Dr. Ironside's masterful exposition of difficult passages successfully nullifies the carnal reasonings of some self-styled scholars who dare to pit their unholy reasonings against a "Thus saith the Lord," for it is well known that the book of Isaiah has been made a favorite battleground of so-called "higher criticism." - Jacket flap.
