Isaiah, Volume 1 - John F.A. Sawyer

This prophetic book begins by telling
the reader that it is the "vision" of
Isaiah. The use of the word "vision,"
John F. A. Sawyer explains, conveys to
the reader that regardless of when the
prophet lived, "his 'words' go beyond
the immediate historical circumstances
of his day. They are addressed not only
to the citizens of eighth-century B.C.
Jerusalem or to the Babylonians exiles..
It is we who are addressed by this, the
first and, from the Church's point of
view, the most influential of the Old
Testament prophets."Carrying
forward brilliantly the pattern
established by Barclay's New Testament
series, The Daily Study Bible has
been extended to cover the entire Old
Testament as well. Invaluable for
individual devotional study, for group
discussion, and for classroom use,
The Daily Study Bible provides a
useful, reliable, and eminently readable
way to discover what the Scriptures were
saying then and what God is saying
today.
