Isaiah is widely considered the deepest, richest, and mosttheologically significant book in the Old Testament. It is, withoutquestion, a profound statement by God about his own sovereignty andmajesty spoken through his chosen spokesman, the prophetIsaiah. In this expository commentary on the book of Isaiah, Raymond C.Ortlund, Jr., argues that Isaiah imparts a single vision of Godthroughout all sixty-six chapters. It is a unified, woven wholepresenting God's revelation of himself to mankind, breaking throughour pretense and clashing "with our intuitive sense of things."Ortlund makes a point of man's uninterest in God and his unfailinginclination to disbelief, and thus the need for God to "interruptour familiar ways of thinking." The emphasis of this addition to the Preaching the Word seriesis this: God saves sinners. He saves them willfully and powerfullyand needs no help from us, presenting himself in all hisunmistakable glory. The message of Isaiah, shown thoroughly andthoughtfully in this commentary, will reignite a passion for theglory of God in the hearts of believers and will present that gloryclearly and potently to those who have yet to be brought to savingfaith.
