Bible study notes and commentary on the Old Testament book of Isaiah. Emphasizes understanding the text with practical applications. Intended to be helpful to all Christians, including teachers and preachers, while avoiding an emphasis on technical issues. Written from the conservative viewpoint of faith in the Bible as the absolute, inerrant, verbally inspired word of God. Comments include discussion of these topics: * Predictions of the Messiah, His suffering, and His kingdom * Evidence that God is the one true God * Warnings against idolatry and immorality * Instructions to practice justice and righteousness * Need for sincere worship, not just outward pretense * Predictions of consequences for disobedience to God * Admonition to care for the needy and disadvantaged * Rebuke of leaders who fail to lead righteously * Predictions of coming captivity and return to Jerusalem
