Isaiah's meaning for Christians today..
Alec Motyer gives us the fruit of over three decades of the study of Isaiah. With reference to the Hebrew text.Surprisingly, in recent years evangelical exegetical commentaries on Isaiah have been few and far between. Now after over three decades of studying and teaching Isaiah, Alec Motyer presents a wealth of comment and perspective on this book. Although his emphasis is on the grammatical, historical, structural, literary and theological dimensions of the text, Motyer writes with an eye on its meaning for Christians today. Based on the author's knowledge of the Hebrew text, but utilizing the New International Version, the commentary easily accommodates readers without a working knowledge of biblical Hebrew. Preachers, teachers and serious Bible students of all types will find this commentary a wise, winsome and welcome guide to the prophecy of Isaiah. It may easily be the best one-volume evangelical commentary on Isaiah available today.
This is a mastery and monumental commentary, closely argued at every level, from the smallest details of text and vocabulary to the larger issues of structure and theory. At every point there is a careful discussion of individual Hebrew terms; hardly a word escapes scrutiny and pursuit into other parts of the Old Testament for its shades of meaning, so that in fact one could compile quite an index of word studies in one's journey through the book. What better use for end papers! * Derek Kidner (1913-2008) was warden of Tyndale House, Cambridge. He wrote several volumes in the TOTC and BST series. *
This work will find a welcome reception among preachers and teachers. * Richard S. Hess, Professor of Old Testament and Semitic languages at Denver Seminary. *
The best commentary on Isaiah, hands down, is Motyer's stand alone volume published by Inter-Varsity Press. * Keith A. Mathison, Ligonier Ministries *
Represents the best of conservative evangelical appraoch to the book at the end of the twentieth century. * Tremper Longman III, Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College. *
