Teaching Isaiah: Unlocking Isaiah for the Bible Teacher

From Text to Message

by David Jackman

In the period that Isaiah the prophet lived there was immense political upheaval across the ancient near-east. The people of God had a choice - to follow their own human policies or to follow the promises of God. They chose to be unfaithful. The prophet breaks in and calls them to repent asking them to stop violating the covenant. In today's setting this is a message that your hearers will identify with, readily identifying ourselves with the deceitful hearts of the people of Judah, and learn also from their mistakes how our own divided hearts may equally lead us astray. This is not another commentary but a useful resource, which will help the pastor/ preacher, a small group leader or a youth worker communicate a message of grace when speaking from the book of Isaiah. It will give you help in planning and executing a lesson in particular with background, structure, key points and application.
Teaching Isaiah is part of the 'Teaching the Bible' series and is published in conjunction with Proclamation Trust Media whose aim is to encourage ministry that seeks above all to expound the Bible as God's Word for today.

Very useful summary of the narrative flow of Isaiah. Especially useful for study leaders or preachers.

[Eric Poggemiller · Rating 5 out of 5]

I used this to teach a Sunday School class. It was extremely helpful. It was very Christ-centered and did an excellent job showing how all the parts of the book fit together.
