Isaiah 1-39: Audio Lectures
The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Isaiah 1-39: Audio Lectures includes high-quality live recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.
Isaiah wrestles with the realities of people who are not convicted by the truth but actually hardened by it and a God whose actions sometimes seem unintelligible, or, even worse, who appears to be absent. Yet Isaiah penetrates these experiences to see a greater reality. Isaiah portrays God's rule over history and his capacity to take the worst of human actions and use them for good. He declares the truth that even in the darkest hours, the Holy One of Israel is infinitely trustworthy.
Isaiah 1-39: Audio Lectures features Old Testament scholar John Oswalt teaching through the book of Isaiah in short, engaging, and challenging lessons. Based on Oswalt's Isaiah commentary in the NIV Application Commentary series, these lessons bring the meaning of Isaiah into the 21st century. As Oswalt works through the book passage-by-passage, he comments on the text itself and then explores issues in Israel's culture and in ours that help us understand the meaning of each passage.

The book of Isaiah can be confusing with its prophecies of doom intermixed with promises of the Messiah. How wonderful to have biblical scholar and theologian, John Oswalt, to take the reader by the hand and lead us through each chapter. Each day's audio was 7 to 11 minutes - just the perfect length to follow up the reading of each chapter.
This is much more than commentary. It’s devotional material.

I inherited the two volume commentary on Isaiah by John Oswalt. I’ve wanted to study Isaiah for a long time. Listening to this audio book with the book of Isaiah open has furthered my understanding immensely. I highly recommend this as a way to learn more about Isaiah.
