"Great
are the words of Isaiah," said the Savior, an accolade
not recorded for any other prophetic writings. This makes
Isaiah high-priority reading for Latter-day Saints.
From years of study and research,
Monte S. Nyman has produced an LDS-based commentary which
leads the reader through Isaiah section by section, topic
by topic.
Isaiah's numerous and significant themes
are examined and explained with informative commentary and
quotations from prophets and scholars of this dispensation.
In each chapter of the book, the chapters of Isaiah being
considered are first outlined, then treated with verse-by-verse
commentaries which draw on all the LDS Standard Works, the
Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and numerous clarifying
statements made by various prophets and apostles.
Six detailed appendices give easy cross-references
to Isaiah-related materials quoted or paraphrased in other
scriptures and expressions by Church leaders: (A) Authorship
of Isaiah,
(B) Ancient and Modern Commentary on Isaiah, (C) Isaiah in
the Book of Mormon, (D) Isaiah in the Doctrine and Covenants,
(E) Isaiah in the New Testament, and (F) The Prophet Joseph
Smith and Isaiah.
This comprehensive work will do much to
assist readers in understanding and enjoying the Book of Isaiah,
that truly outstanding book of scripture. |
