Overview

The New Testament quotes Isaiah more than any Old Testament book other than Psalms, but Isaiah offers much more to the Christian. The challenges the prophet Isaiah confronted in his ministry provide the backdrop for profound theological insights. During Isaiah's lifetime the Northern Kingdom fell and the Southern Kingdom was facing the future prospect of defeat and exile as well. In his critique of the sins that would cause Judah's fall to Babylon, Isaiah provides insights into the basic qualities God looks for in a relationship with his people.

“Chapters 40–66, on the other hand, look to the future in light of the message God sends to Hezekiah about the Babylonian exile. From that perspective, the people most need to receive reassurance that God will overcome their failures and resume his work through them. At the same time, they also need the reminder that they must respond to God’s redemption and turn from their former ways.” (Pages 116–117)

“he proclaims the sins of Israel as manifested in their worship” (Page 256)
