Isaiah 1-39 (Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary)
by Patricia K. TullThe prophet Isaiah's influence extended from his long career in Jerusalem in the late 8th century BCE through Judah's exilic and Second Temple periods. Through the ages in both Judaism and Christianity, Isaiah's words have funded subsequent theological writings, liturgies, lectionaries, hymns, poetry, and art. Among early Christian writings, Isaiah was seen as "evangelist rather than prophet," foretelling Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection-a view that continues to prevail today, though scholars have long argued that Isaiah addressed his own time and not, in the first instance, the distant future. Readers of Tull's engaging guide will come to understand Isaiah as visionary spokesperson of ancient Jerusalem's God in a critical moment in the history of western faith. They will learn about the paths the book traveled as it grew, absorbed new meanings, underwent reinterpretion, and emerged as Scripture for synagogues and churches. Preachers, teachers, and students will imagine afresh the connections between modern people and this ancient book ... the primary goal of the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series is to make available serious, credible biblical scholarship in an accessible and less intimidating format.

Isaiah 40-66 (Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture #11)
by Mark W. ElliottNo book of the Old Testament is more frequently quoted in the New than Isaiah, and no portion of Isaiah is more frequently quoted in the New than the typologically fertile soil of Isaiah 40-66. Still, as interpreted by the fathers, Isaiah presents a message that is far more soteriological than christological, leading readers to a deeper understanding of God's judgment and salvation. Isaiah 40-66 provides us with the closest thing the Old Testament has to offer regarding a systematic theology. The excerpts included in this volume offer us a rich array of differing styles, principles and theological emphases from Theodoret of Cyr to Eusebius and Procopius, to Cyril of Alexandria, Jerome and Augustine. Readers will be enriched by the wide-ranging selections, some of which are translated here into English for the first time.
Isaiah 40-66
by Paul D. HansonThe latter half of the sixth century BCE found the Jewish community fragmented and under great strife after having been conquered by the Babylonian armies.

What he discovers is a poetic argument for a loving and attentive God and the rightful place of God's creatures in the unfolding of history. Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching is a distinctive resource for those who interpret the Bible in the church. Planned and written specifically for teaching and preaching needs, this critically acclaimed biblical commentary is a major contribution to scholarship and ministry.

Isaiah 56-66: The New Israel
by George A.F. Knight"Isaiah provides us with a picture," writes George A. F. Knight, "a pattern of revelation, hewn out of the facts of history." This book serves as a sequel to the author's Servant Theology (the International Theological Commentary volume on Isaiah 40-55) with appropriate attention to significant critical issues. Emphasizing Israel as "a light to the nations," Knight is concerned throughout with the theological issues of contemporary, international scope. He sees Isaiah as addressed to the social, historical situation not only of its own day but of this day as well, with significance for Jews and Muslims as well as Christians — "a book meant for all who come after."

Behind it lies the conviction that the task of witnessing for Jesus Christ to individual people and to neighborhood communities is, In the final analysis, The responsibility of the local congregation. it draws upon the experiences of congregations in many places and a variety of situations, and is in that sense truly ecumenical.
