- This is not only one of the best commentaries available on Isaiah (along with Motyer), but one of the most delightful and 'worshipful' commentaries I have ever read. Few authors today combine textual-critical, biblical-theological, and pastoral insights like Oswalt does in these two volumes. But even better than this, Oswalt faithfully points the reader to Jesus Christ at every turn—something many OT commentaries fail to do. Oswalt treats Isaiah as truly Christian Scripture and thus interprets Isaiah the way it should be interpreted. Sound, evangelical, Christ-centered, and full of theological implications and practical applications for the church. This would be an excellent commentary to use even in personal devotions. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
