Encounter the prophecies of Isaiah as covenant instruction - not church theology.
This focused edition presents nine foundational chapters from the Book of Isaiah (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 51, 52, 53, and 66), drawn directly from the Tanach. The text is rendered in clear, forceful language that preserves the prophetic poetry while exposing the message Isaiah delivered to Israel in times of judgment, exile, and return.
In these chapters, YHWH speaks to His people about accountability, justice, correction, and restoration according to the covenant of the Torah. The so-called "Servant" passages are presented in their original Israelite context - addressing the nation and its calling - not later theological reinterpretations. Comfort is promised to Israel, not through belief systems, but through repentance, righteousness, and return to the covenant.
This edition is based solely on the Hebrew prophetic tradition, without rabbinic or Christian overlays. Contextual notes assist the reader in understanding the historical setting, covenantal language, and moral demands of the text as it was originally given.
This book is intended for readers seeking to engage the words of Isaiah on their own terms - as ancient Hebrew prophecy, grounded in the Torah of Moses, and uncompromised by later religious doctrine.
