<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Presenting a wealth of comment and perspective on the book of Isaiah, J. Alec Motyer pays particular attention to three recurring themes: the messianic hope, the motif of the city, and the theology of the Holy One of Israel. This rich, accessible commentary is a wise, winsome and welcome guide to Isaiah for Christians today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><ul> <li>Recipient of a <em>Christianity Today</em> 1994 Critics Choice Award</li> </ul><p>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. Now, after over three decades of studying and teaching Isaiah, Alec Motyer presents a wealth of commentary and perspective on this book. His emphasis is on the grammatical, historical, structural, literary and theological dimensions of the text. Though based on the Hebrew text, his exposition easily accomodates readers without a working knowledge of biblical Hebrew. And he writes with an interest in Isaiah's meaning for Christians today. 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. 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). 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Exceptional.</p>--The Communicator<br><br><p>Highly recommended.</p>--BTS Booklist<br><br><p>Motyer's greatest contribution yet to Old Testament scholarship.</p>--The Church of England Newspaper<br><br><p>Winner of a 1994 Critics Choice Award.</p>--Christianity Today<br>
