J. Alec Motyer was a renowned Old Testament pastor and scholar. With extensive experience in parish ministry, he was principal of Trinity College in Bristol, England, and was well known as a Bible expositor. His books include The Prophecy of Isaiah, and he was the Old Testament editor of The Bible Speaks Today series.
This is a mastery and monumental commentary, closely argued at every level, from the smallest details of text and vocabulary to the larger issues of structure and theory. At every point there is a careful discussion of individual Hebrew terms; hardly a word escapes scrutiny and pursuit into other parts of the Old Testament for its shades of meaning, so that in fact one could compile quite an index of word studies in one's journey through the book. What better use for end papers!
This work will find a welcome reception among preachers and teachers.
The best commentary on Isaiah, hands down, is Motyer's stand alone volume published by Inter-Varsity Press.
Represents the best of conservative evangelical appraoch to the book at the end of the twentieth century.
