Isaiah 1-39
Steven A. McKinion
Steven A. McKinion presents this volume on Isaiah 1-39, focusing on the prophet's vision of the coming Messiah.For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the
government will be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
For the early church fathers the prophecy of Isaiah was not a compendium
of Jewish history or theology but an announcement of the coming Messiah
fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. As such, the
prophet's words were a rich source of theological reflection concerning
their Lord and a vital aid in their defense against the objections of
the Jews that Jesus was the promised Messiah. The interpretation of
Jesus' ministry in light of Isaiah's prophecy was not a theological
innovation on their part but rather a following of the path blazed by
the New Testament writers and Jesus himself. Among passage-by-passage
commentaries cited here are those by Eusebius of Caesarea, Jerome, Cyril
of Alexandria, and Theodoret of Cyr, as well as one attributed to Basil
of Caesarea. John Chrysostom preached a series of homilies on Isaiah of
which most of those extant concern the first eight chapters, though
Chrysostom frequently cites Isaiah in numerous homilies on other books.
Augustine of Hippo, Gregory the Great, and Bede the Venerable frequently
cite passages from Isaiah 1-39, as did many other fathers in defending
the Christian faith from Jewish critics. In this Ancient Christian
Commentary on Scripture volume, readers will find materials ranging from
East to West and from the first through the eighth centuries, some
appearing here in English translation for the first time. Within this
treasure house are riches to illumine the mind and fire the heart.
