Planning to preach the prophet

TEACHING ISAIAH
Unlocking Isaiah for the Bible Teacher
By David Jackman. Christian Focus. 304 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978-1-84550-565-3

This is not another commentary on Isaiah to help with the specific task of understanding the message of the prophet.

We already have a goodly number of those, including excellent contributions in recent years from Alec Motyer and Barry Webb. Instead, David Jackman gives us here a helpful resource to be used when actually teaching the book, either from the pulpit or in a small group setting. He provides help in planning, structuring and applying key points throughout Isaiah in a style that is neither too heavy nor too simplistic and patronising.
