Raymond C. Ortlund Jr. on Isaiah, widely considered the deepest and most theologically significant book in the Old Testament. Read more.
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 prophet. In this accessible commentary Ray Ortlund works through all sixty-six chapters, holding together the judgment of the early chapters and the comfort of the later ones.
The subtitle states his reading of the whole: God saves sinners, and Isaiah is the book that shows how. Ortlund writes with unusual compression and warmth, and the Preaching the Word format means every section arrives somewhere a congregation can follow. For preachers facing a long book and for readers who have never got past chapter 12.
