While every book in the Old Testament points to Christ as the fulfilment in the New Testament, few do so as overtly or as insistently at the book of Isaiah. The text became a framework for Christology, ecclesiology, and missiology in the early church, and along with the Psalms it remains most quoted scripture in the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume on chapters 40-55, Dr. Lessing's scholarly expertise and decades of service as a seminary professor and pastor are evident as he meticulously expounds the text, historical setting, theology, Christology, and pastoral applications of the 40-55th chapters of \"the fifth Gospel.\" Using a faithful, Christo-centric hermeneutic, he focuses on the Isaiah's visions of \"shalom\" and Israel's peaceful homecoming from the Babylonian exile and explains why the prophet's saving message, soaring language, and unforgettable imagery are so tightly woven into the fabric of Christian hymnody, liturgy, and prayer. He also features the four \"servant songs,\" espousing the traditional interpretation that they sing of Christ and addressing alternatives that have emerged in recent academia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Literary, Historical, and Canonical Context of Isaiah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA History of Studies on Isaiah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Servant Songs in Isaiah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text.
