The Promise of Deliverance: Reading Second Isaiah

by Michael Casey

Overview

The beauty of this book is that the author does not form concise analytic conclusions but guides the reader in becoming aware of the ever-emerging themes-consolation, transcendence, servanthood, glory, sin, compassion, awake!, and deliverance-how they are intertwined, how they build up a complex and reassuring message of hope, and how they are as relevant today as they were originally.
