SHBC: Isaiah 1 - 39

The prophet Isaiah's influence extended from his long career in Jerusalem in
the late 8th century bce through Judah's exilic and Second Temple periods.
Through the ages in both Judaism and Christianity, Isaiah's words have funded
subsequent theological writings, liturgies, lectionaries, hymns, poetry, and
art. Among early Christian writings, Isaiah was seen as evangelist rather than " prophet, foretelling Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection-a view that " continues to prevail today, though scholars have long argued that Isaiah
addressed his own time and not, in the first instance, the distant future.
Readers of Tull's engaging guide will come to understand Isaiah as visionary
spokesperson of ancient Jerusalem's God in a critical moment in the history of
western faith. They will learn about the paths the book traveled as it grew,
absorbed new meanings, underwent reinterpretion, and emerged as Scripture for
synagogues and churches. Preachers, teachers, and students will imagine afresh
the connections between modern people and this ancient book. Written by caring
and accomplished scholars with all students of Scripture in mind, this
innovative series makes quality Bible study more accessible. Pastors,
professors and students of Scripture are discovering that this commentary
provides wonderful new tools for enhancing interpretation: informative
sidebars, a wealth of fine art visuals, and a searchable CD containing the
digital version of the entire work.
