Man of Sorrows / Wheeler, Gerald W / (PB/2004-2004/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: A well but gently used book. Pages are lightly yellowed.*

With the possible exception of the Psalms, no book exerted more influence on the New Testament than Isaiah. Seeking to turn Israel back from apostasy and to restore the pure faith, Isaiah rips away the surface reality to reveal the invisible powers of the supernatural world, infusing every struggle with cosmic significance. By unveiling the warfare between good and evil, Isaiah weaves the ebb and flow of history into meaningful patterns that reveal God's end-time design for His new creation; the "Man of Sorrows," who would atone for sin; and the glories of the peaceable kingdom to come.
In this concise commentary Gerald Wheeler highlights the customs and cultural background of the biblical world, re-creating a world quite different from our own. He brings to bear the best of recent scholarship, drawing extensively on ancient Near Eastern parallels that provide the key to hidden nuances in the text. The reader will be enabled to understand Isaiah as the original audience would have understood it, and to better appreciate its deeper meaning for us today.
