About A Commentary on Isaiah

In this Old Testament commentary, conservative scholar Peter A. Steveson takes you to the heart of explains Isaiah verse by verse. Isaiah’s great prophecy contains not only many well-loved passages but also many seldom-seen ones. While highlighting its clear and timeless salvation message, Dr. Steveson clarifies the message of the book with special emphasis on Isaiah’s predictions of the last days. Through his detailed discussion of word meanings and context clues, Steveson provides a rich and multifaceted picture of the mission of God’s chosen servant and the relevancy of his message to every generation.
