This is one of the Welwyn series of Commentaries that I've found very useful. They are a good balance for everyday Christian's; not too academic but also not too simplistic. This Commentary on the book of Isaiah is lengthy and can look intimidating but each chapter explains and comments on a short passage of scripture. I found it helpful to read the Bible chapters suggested and then the corresponding chapter in the Commentary to break it down a bit. In controversial areas concerning the future of Israel as a nation the author subscribes to the general reformed position that the prophecies now refer to heaven and that God has no specific plan for Israel as a country (not my personal view.) The author does explain other views but quickly also explains how in his opinion these cannot be correct in light of scripture. Maybe he should be less dogmatic in these areas. But in general a helpful book. Recommended. ( )
