Isaiah

Summary

We find Hetty Lalleman’s Isaiah in the Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries a clear guide for reading the book as a unified proclamation of the Lord’s majesty and mercy. She is attentive to the shape of the text, and she helps us keep track of the prophet’s movement between warning and comfort.

The result is a commentary that supports careful teaching. We are shown how the big themes connect, and we are helped to avoid pulling passages out of their setting.

Why Should I Own This Commentary?

We should own this commentary when we want an accessible, pastorally safe companion that still takes the text seriously. Lalleman explains Isaiah with clarity, then offers measured reflections that serve the church.

We also benefit from her attention to the aims of the prophet. Isaiah is written to humble pride, strengthen faith, and re form hope. This volume helps us keep those aims in view when we preach and teach.

For busy preparation, it is especially useful for building the skeleton of sermons, then filling out applications with our own knowledge of the congregation.

Closing Recommendation

We recommend this as a strong mid level entry for those beginning extended work in Isaiah. Use it alongside a more detailed commentary if you need in depth engagement with contested passages, but as a primary guide it remains clear and steady.
