In this comprehensive introduction to the book of Isaiah, Old
Testament scholar Bryan Beyer surveys the book??'s content, its
meaning in its original context, and its application for people
today. He presents the prophet??'s recurring themes and gives
special attention to Isaiah??'s use of geographical issues to
illustrate his message, Isaiah??'s place in the canon of Scripture,
and the implications of the book for mission.
???The book of Isaiah is easy to get lost in, so having a
knowledgeable guide can be crucial. Bryan Beyer has provided just
such a service in this accessible tour of one of the most complex
and magisterial books of the canon. His judicious discussions show
a depth of knowledge and a balanced assessment of difficult issues.
The student of Isaiah will find the book opened up in ways that
will promote scholarship as well as faith.??????John H. Walton,
professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College
???Although not a traditional verse-by-verse commentary, Bryan
E. Beyer??'s "Encountering the Book of Isaiah" does a good job of
discussing the major themes and issues contained in this most
important of the Old Testament prophetic books. Especially
commendable are Beyer??'s numerous explanatory sidebars as well as
his chapter objectives and study questions geared to helping the
reader apply Isaiah??'s teachings to contemporary Christian life
and ministry. He is also eminently fair in analyzing and evaluating
divergent viewpoints with respect to authorship, date, and other
disputed matters before stating his own conclusions. Whether
beginners or veterans in encountering the book of Isaiah, readers
of this volume will be grateful to its author for his careful and
thoughtfultreatment of the writings of Isaiah, the ???Prince among
the Prophets.?????????Ronald Youngblood, professor emeritus of Old
Testament and Hebrew, Bethel Seminary San Diego
???Bryan Beyer has done a service for all those who struggle to

handbook to Isaiah that is currently available.??????John N.

Seminary
