Isaiah- Everyman's Bible Commentary (Everyman's Bible Commentaries)

Recognizing the need for a basic understanding of this rich prophetic book, the author has written a general introduction. He covers the high points and lays a firm foundation for future examination of this important section of Scripture.

Stressing the value of reading the book itself, Dr. Martin points out that a knowledge of its factual content is basic to its interpretation. Therefore he asserts that the serious student of prophecy will want to read Isaiah more than once.

Abounding with Messianic allusions, the book of Isaiah is second only to the Psalms in the number of times it is referred to by New Testament writers. Throughout its pages are found prophecies whose fulfillment is realized in Jesus Christ. Thus, Isaiah contains an important historical emphasis correlated with a mighty prophetic theme.
