Synopsis

The story told in the Book of Isaiah is one of power, fall, loss and restoration. It speaks not only to its own time and place but to us today in a world of political unpredictably, upset and division in such a world, what does the Kingdom of God really mean? What does Gods sovereignty really look like? Can people who dont know about Gods kingdom still serve it? Do we need to worry about unjust leaders or should we just say Jesus is the true Lord so itll all be fine? How does the Book of Isaiah help to walk the tightrope between Gods sovereignty and human suffering?

Offering a timely, relevant and fresh introduction to the whole Book of Isaiah, with those in the early stages of biblical and theological study, ministry students, preachers and interested lay people in mind, the book will compliment the similar approach taken by Mark Scarlata in The Abiding Presence: A Theological Commentary on Exodus (published July 2018).
