The book of Isaiah is outstanding in its brilliance of style,
poetic power, and foretaste of the hope of the gospel. It tells how
God himself has provided the highway to holiness for those who have
been redeemed. These are images that evoke the exodus from Egypt
and foreshadow Christ's achievement at the cross. There is joy even
in Isaiah's portrayal of judgment--rebuilding within the
demolition, the new replacing the old--as world events reveal God's
hand. In the visionary world of Isaiah, the varied themes and
imagery of the Old Testament converge and blend as they project an
extraordinary climax of the story of Israel and of the world. Barry
Webb calls Isaiah the Romans of the Old Testament, where all the
threads come together and the big picture of God's purposes are
most clearly set forth. Attuned to the magnificent literary
architecture of Isaiah, Webb escorts us through this prophecy and
trains our ears and hearts to resonate with its great
biblical-theological themes. Part of the beloved Bible Speaks Today
series, The Message of Isaiah offers an insightful, readable
exposition of the biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of
how its meaning relates to contemporary life. Used by students and
teachers around the world, the Bible Speaks Today commentaries are
ideal for those studying or preaching the Bible and anyone who
wants to delve deeper into the text. This revised edition of a
classic volume features lightly updated language and a new interior
design.
