The Daily Study Bible Series is the Old Testament companion to the Barclay's New Testament. This volume on Isaiah is the second of two volumes by John Sawyer. This work does not have any introductory material but does have the same scholarly but readable analysis of this text. A good commentary for pastors or informed lay people. Isaiah Volume 2 (Chapters 33 to 66) - One of the most important and cherished books in the Old Testament, Isaiah contains a message of vibrant spirituality. It reveals an exalted view of God and speaks in soaring poetry of joy and hope in the kingdom. Thoughout his two volume commentary, John F. A. Sawyer seeks to present the meaning of the text of the Book of Isaiah with compelling clarity and, at the same time, lead the reader to a deeper understanding of familiar passages. He is particularly helpful in illustrating how words written in the context of ancient Israel are now 'used to enrich and interpret the responses of Christians to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.'
