Hamilton Smith (1862-1943), born in Barnes, Surrey, the son of a
sea captain, was employed in the office of his uncle's building
firm, where he was later joined by his cousin F B Hole. By 1901,
married and living in Sutton, Surrey, with his wife and young
family, he had retired from the building trade and entered
full-time upon the task of building up the church of God. Later in
life, he moved to Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, his wife Rachel's
home county. His personal ministry was delivered in the United
Kingdom, but his written ministry continues to be read worldwide.
Along with H P Barker, A J Pollock, J T Mawson and F B Hole he
frequently contributed articles to "Scripture Truth" magazine,
which often provided the basis for books later published by the
Central Bible Truth Depot. Hamilton Smith's written expositions of
the Scriptures are brief: in keeping with a desire "to be nothing
and to give Christ all the glory". Yet they are clear and very much
to the point: "If we present doctrines with all the arguments for
and against, leaving our hearers to judge whether it be true or
not, we shall hardly be speaking with authority, but rather as
those who are groping for the truth. We are to speak as those who,
by grace, know the certainty of the truth they proclaim." He is
probably best known for his Old Testament character studies, but he
also wrote topical studies and expositions of Bible books. The
present volume consists of a verse-by-verse study of chapters 40 to
57 of the Old Testament prophecy of Isaiah. Emphasis is placed on
the dispensational approach to its interpretation, distinguishing
prophecies as already fulfilled, or yet to be so. The focus of
chapters 40 to 48 is seen as the issue of idolatry; and that of
chapters 49 to 57 to be the coming of Jesus as the humble servant
of God, to be followed by his future return to rule. Throughout the
exposition valuable practical lessons are drawn for Christians
today.
