Overview

The prophet Isaiah’s words in Isaiah 53 are so valued that Martin Luther once said that they “ought to be written on parchment of gold and lettered in diamonds.” Timothy J. E. Cross’s The Gospel According to Isaiah: A Devotional Commentary on Isaiah 53 will help you understand why. Written more than 800 years before the birth of Christ, Isaiah 53 actually contains one of the clearest views of the person and work of Christ in all the Scripture. Cross expounds on this prophetic chapter verse-by-verse, explaining the nuances of the text in relation to their historical context and their importance to New Testament theology.
