In the summer of 2008, I had the joy of attending Tyndale Fellowship’s Old Testament Study Group conference. This book is the publication of papers given and discussed on that occasion. Like the conference itself, this book is a delight of serious evangelical scholarship — individuals from around the world seeking to make the book of Isaiah better understood on its own terms.
The reader is treated to a feast of material, covering a broad range of issues in Isaiah studies. The particular goal of this book, though, is to try and ‘bridge the gap’ between works which are basic and introductory, and those which require specialised, technical knowledge. As such, Interpreting Isaiah is divided into three clear sections.
