Bibles; Old Testaments

The book of Isaiah remains one of the most significant works of the Old Testament, dealing with actual responses to a series of political changes and crises--those responses being both of the people of God and also of the dominant great empires of that age. Above all, here are prophetical reactions to the great political changes of the day. Further, here are changes in the way the historical faith of Israel is to be lived out in new ages for the people of Israel's life in both the religious and political settings. In this short and accessible commentary, Michael E. W. Thompson opens up this ancient text for contemporary people.

Reviews for Isaiah 40-66: A Commentary, Second Edition

"""Michael Thompson here completes his commentary on Isaiah in a way that showcases all his best qualities: a clear and concise explanation of the text of these much-loved chapters, based on deep scholarship but presented in truly accessible style. He tells us what we need to know, without being distracted by side issues. It should be the first port of call for ministers and all serious students of the Bible who want an initial reliable guide."" --H. G. M. Williamson, regius professor emeritus of Hebrew, University of Oxford ""In this revised version of his Epworth Commentary, Michael Thompson guides the reader through Isaiah 40-66 in a judicious and accessible way. He addresses background issues and offers careful exegesis of the text, section by section. There are helpful treatments of major themes, including some thoughtful reflections on the 'Servant' passages. A valuable resource for teachers, preachers, and all seeking to engage with these theologically important chapters."" --Adrian Curtis, honorary research fellow, University of Manchester"
