"Goldingay interprets each part of the long book of Isaiah in the light of the whole, so giving it a sense of coherence and unity. Also, Goldingay lives up to his enviable reputation for being able to write lucidly and directly for a wide readership on the basis of sound and up-todate scholarship. Eschewing academic speculation, Goldingay concentrates on a positive and illuminating exegesis within a Christian frame of reference. There are no sermons here, but preachers who attend to Goldingay's exposition will have all that they need for the responsible application of this best-loved prophetic book." --H. G. M.
