Isaiah 1-12: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture (Concordia Commentary | CC)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Isaiah ben Amoz presents a massive tome of historical references and prophetic words that culminate in the coming of Jesus Christ.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.

Specialists and more general readers alike will all benefit from his considerate and thoughtful discussion of these vital chapters.

This volume is a welcome addition to the large and growing body of literature surrounding the book of Isaiah. Adopting a carefully nuanced and supported argument for the unity of Isaiah and the authorship of the prophet, Dr. Bartelt offers an exhaustive treatment of the content of the early chapters of the book. The completeness of his treatment is impressive; from text to linguistics to theology, he leaves no stone unturned. Exegetes who want to know what these twelve chapters say will be well-served by this volume.

Here is a remarkable and remarkably thorough commentary on Isaiah 1–12. Every word is carefully considered, as are the many vexed issues that have occupied scholarly interpretation. To be sure, not all will agree with Bartelt at every turn, but what all will agree on is this: Bartelt has offered us a rich interpretive feast that will reward study by all who wish to taste and see God’s goodness in Isaiah.
