Isaiah is widely considered the deepest, richest, and most theologically significant book in the Old Testament. It is, without question, a profound statement by God about his own sovereignty and majesty spoken through his chosen spokesman, the prophet Isaiah.
In this expository commentary on the book of Isaiah, Raymond C. Ortlund, Jr., argues that Isaiah imparts a single vision of God throughout all sixty-six chapters. It is a unified, woven whole presenting God's revelation of himself to mankind, breaking through our pretense and clashing "with our intuitive sense of things." Ortlund makes a point of man's uninterest in God and his unfailing inclination to disbelief, and thus the need for God to "interrupt our familiar ways of thinking."
The emphasis of this addition to the Preaching the Word series is this: God saves sinners. He saves them willfully and powerfully and needs no help from us, presenting himself in all his unmistakable glory. The message of Isaiah, shown thoroughly and thoughtfully in this commentary, will reignite a passion for the glory of God in the hearts of believers and will present that glory clearly and potently to those who have yet to be brought to saving faith.
"The single best resource for faithful biblical exposition available today. A great boon for genuine reformation!" - Timothy George, Dean, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University; general editor, Reformation Commentary on Scripture
"For this outstanding series of expository commentaries, Kent Hughes has assembled a team of unusually gifted scholar-preachers. The series will be widely used and much sought after." - Eric J. Alexander, Retired Senior Minister, St. George's-Tron Parish Church, Glasgow, Scotland
"The Preaching the Word commentary series is one of my favorites. The focus upon explaining a text with preaching it as the goal makes the series resonate with the priorities of the pulpit. No academic aloofness here, but down-to-earth, preacher-to-preacher meat for God's people." - Bryan Chapell, Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church, Peoria, Illinois
"I'm delighted to endorse the philosophy behind the series edited by my friend Kent Hughes. Here sounds out the voice not of the scholar in the study but of the scholar in the pulpit. The authors are all able teachers who regularly expound God's living Word to his people. May this rich material give us 'patterns of preaching' that will not only feed the flock, but, by God's grace, change the church." - R. C. Lucas, Retired Rector, St. Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, London, England

Ultimately, the message of Isaiah offers us a God-centered confidence that enables us to face anything while challenging us to trust God in new ways.

I would recommend this commentary to anyone interested in looking indepthly at Isaiah. Particularly if it is being preached on at church or in bible study, it is an excellent book to supplement the teaching given. \\r\\nI am not theologically trained but found this commentary insightful in looking at Isaiah through the eyes of the new covenant. \\r\\nEven if you aren't studying at a theological college I would recommend you suppliment your personal devotions with this book. The eBook was particularly good as I could carry my bible around and whenever I happened to read a chapter of Isaiah I had this on my phone which I could read along with it. Instead of only having it at home. \\r\\nRaymond Ortlund Jnr's faithful exegesis of Isaiah brings God much glory!
