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. Isaiah's prophetic ministry begins with his temple vision and calling: 'I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send?'' Through a series of oracles Isaiah calls Israel and the nations to turn to the Lord, for judgment is coming. He announces that redemption is found in the Davidic Servant alone. Finally, in the 'day of vengeance and the year of redemption' the Anointed Conqueror will punish rebellious peoples, comfort the contrite and reestablish the glory of Zion. J. Alec Motyer, author of the unparalleled onevolume commentary The Prophecy of Isaiah, now provides the longawaited final volume in the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary Series. Unlike many Isaiah commentators who divide the book between chapters 139 and 4066, Motyer instead identifies three messianic portraits: the King (Isaiah 137), the Servant (Isaiah 3855), and the Anointed Conqueror (Isaiah 5666). This volume provides Motyer's lucid exposition on these three portraits, examining Isaiah with insightful and probing passagebypassage commentary. All who study the text of Isaiah will find here expert scholarship and solid footing for unraveling difficult issues of exegesis and interpretation. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.
