The Prophecy Of Isaiah

Summary

Motyer provides a substantial and reverent exposition of Isaiah. His work combines careful structural analysis with deep theological reflection. We are helped to see the unity of the book and its clear witness to the coming Servant.

He handles difficult passages with restraint and exegetical care. The commentary serves long term preaching confidence and doctrinal clarity.

This is especially valuable when preaching through major Servant passages or wrestling with structural questions in Isaiah.

Why Should I Own This Commentary?

Its chief strength is theological depth rooted in careful exegesis. Motyer does not flatten the text but allows its poetry and prophecy to speak.

A limitation is that it requires sustained engagement. It is not brief. Yet the reward justifies the effort.

In sermon preparation we would use this as a primary exposition. For highly technical language questions we may supplement with a more specialised academic commentary.

For many pastors this volume is sufficient on its own for faithful preaching.

Closing Recommendation

This is a mature and pastorally useful commentary that continues to shape preaching on Isaiah. We commend it as a serious working resource.
