Isaiah ben Amoz presents a massive tome of historical references and prophetic words that culminate in the coming of Jesus Christ. Rev. Dr. Andrew H. Bartelt, professor emeritus of exegetical theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, provides a meticulous commentary on the first twelve chapters of these writings. Carefully juxtaposing the grammatical analysis of these select chapters with the wider understanding of Isaiah’s book as a whole, Bartelt illuminates the voice of Isaiah for greater understanding.
The Concordia Commentary series is designed to enable pastors, professors, and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the biblical text. This landmark work will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, interpreting Scripture as a harmonious unity centered in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Every passage bears witness to the Good News that God has reconciled the world to himself through our Lord’s life, death, and resurrection. This scholarly commentary series fully affirms the divine inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture as it emphasizes “that which promotes Christ” in each pericope.
