Exalting Jesus in Isaiah

Christ-Centered Exposition

by Andrew M. Davis

Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ- centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition. Projected contributors to the series include notable authors such as Russell D. Moore, Al Mohler, Matt Chandler, Francis Chan, Mark Dever, and others.

Reviews

This was very well done. I read this over the course of nearly a year as my Bible study group slowly worked through Isaiah, chapter by chapter each week. As group facilitator, there were definitely times when I leaned heavily on Davis' work, and it was regularly so helpful. I always recommend this series to the women in my group because these books are not written at a high academic level—anyone can read and glean from them. That's so important for church ministry. Most of as are not teaching and discipling academics, so I'm grateful for this series and especially Dr. Davis' labor in helping us understand Isaiah.

[Darlene Nichols]

Short chapters that don’t read heavily academic. The application sections were helpful, with a tone and emphasis on missions. It helped me see how much Jesus’ life and purpose is woven into the pages of Isaiah. Amazing.

[Aaron Cannon]

Worshipful and theological and applicational. Not overly academic yet still accurate and expositional.

[Emily Stranks]

These books are super helpful to read alongside my Bible — helping provide context for the passage and connection to other passages! Definitely recommend!!

[Edward Meshell]

Great companion to reading through the book of Isaiah! Super easy to read and understand and helps with the applicability of the book.

[DT]

This commentary made some good points here and there, but overall, was pretty vague and generic. It didn’t even comment of some of the more well known verses in Isaiah (like 54:17).

[Teresa]

Accessible while still being challenging and thought provoking. Chapter by chapter, verse by verse, this commentary had me going back to the text of Isaiah to read more carefully, encouraged me to continue studying and applying what I learned. My one note would be that the author clearly holds a viewpoint regarding the millennium, but he holds it loosely and graciously in the few passages where he comments on it.

[Erika Hayes]

I L.O.V.E. this book! It is a wonderful companion to my study of Isaiah. Sometimes the author's opinion/personal thought gets a wee bit intrusive but only a few times. I think most of the commentary is spot on and a great choice. I use this in teaching and it helps bring the truth of how Isaiah links to the truth of who Isaiah was focused on. Jesus.

[Darlene Messenger]

commentary for deep biblical study

Excellent method by which to study scripture! Outline, verse by verse or section study and cross references make this an excellent and straightforward way to read the book of Isaiah. I use a journaling bible so took notes to clarify as I read the Word. Very helpful.

[Jason Wilson]

This is one of an excellent new series of commentaries . Going through the glory and beauty of Isaiah has been hugely encouraging and edifying and this book a solid and thought provoking companion .

[Emily Baker]

Overall a helpful commentary I used for daily devotional time. I wish it had delved more into the different meanings of the original language and customs/symbolism of the time. I would recommend as a helpful overview.

[Liz]

I did not dislike this book, but it took me a long time to get through because I wasn't particularly motivated to read it. To me the chapters read more as summaries of the Isaiah texts rather than commentary. I was hoping for more meat and, well, exposition.

[Tuyi Yohana]

Will admit, I didn’t read it all, but read most of it to consider the whole book read. Really good and concise comments on Isaiah, helped make sense of some of the more difficult chapters. So Christcentric, I love it!!

[Hunter Paine]

Out of the few from the whole series that I’ve read, Davis has easily written one of the best commentaries here.

[Brian]

Excellent study guide for the book of Isaiah. I used it every week to help me prepare to teach a class.

[Dylan Jackson]

Stirred my affections for the Lord as I studied Isaiah.

[Heather Masten]

It took forever but I finally finished!!

[Christian Norton]

Great resource to read alongside the scriptures. Not a scholarly work but fantastic for any believer of any educational level to get more context
