Von der hinteren Coverseite

Drawing on the best of biblical scholarship as well as the Christian tradition, J. Gordon McConville offers a substantive and useful commentary on Isaiah and explores the contemporary significance of this prophetic book.

"Long admired as a world-class scholar on Deuteronomy and the Prophets, McConville leverages considerable insight and theological sensitivity in this magisterial commentary on Isaiah. With judicious comments throughout and fresh theological interpretation, this is a must-have resource that will inform scholar, student, and minister. Highly recommended!"
--Heath A. Thomas, Oklahoma Baptist University

"The book of Isaiah is long, complex, and theologically challenging, so we are fortunate to have McConville as an experienced and insightful guide. Not everyone will accept his views on the authorship of the book, but he is particularly helpful in explaining issues of translation, literary artistry, wordplay, and especially intertextual connections with other books in the Old and New Testaments. His focused and helpful theological reflections at the end of each unit situate Isaiah's message in the trajectory of God's salvation in Christ."
--Eric J. Tully, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"In this volume, McConville demonstrates the perception and ingenuity of a scholar at the height of his craft. He offers a deft treatment of critical issues and substantive insight into historical, cultural, and linguistic matters. The greatest contribution, however, is the rich theological reflections, which treat difficult and often complex issues with nuance and profound insight. McConville's commentary is a gift to anyone who seeks to understand Isaiah's prophetic witness, both to its original audience and to the church today."
--Aubrey E. Buster, Wheaton College
