The Milstein Edition Later Prophets: Isaiah

The Book of Isaiah is the longest and most quoted of the Prophets. Its language soars. Its poetry is complex as well as inspiring. Its message is eternal and universal.

How does one capture the meaning and the beauty, the context and the historical background in today's language without losing the scope and eloquence of the prophet and the interpretations of the Sages and classic commentaries?

The Milstein Edition does it to an amazing degree, thanks to the brilliance of the ArtScroll/Mesorah team of scholars and writers led by Rabbi Nosson Scherman.

This translation and commentary is especially important because many verses in the Book of Isaiah have been twisted out of context to support beliefs that are antithetical to the message of the prophet as it was understood by Jews since the days of Isaiah.
