The Suffering Servant of the Lord, Second Edition

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Among the 100 or more books now in print devoted to the key chapter of Isaiah 53, this work is outstanding. It is scholarly and reverent; devotional and evangelistic. It is a stout defense of the prophecy of Jesus as the suffering servant. The exposition deals with the theological issues and provides illustrations for the reader. Each page has footnotes (810 in all)! These provide grammatical, lexical, and interpretive support for the exposition. Alternative views are reviewed. Five appendices cover Jewish views, Handel’s Messiah and other hymnody, and issues concerning the atonement. The Hebrew text is printed and transliterated as well as translated. Major Christian scholars’ expositions and commentaries are regularly cited including leading figures of Church history. For your devotions, your apologetics, and your teaching, this is the book to own. Buy one for your pastor.”
