The Book of Isaiah and God's Kingdom Summary

The Book of Isaiah and God's Kingdom by Andrew Abernethy

Andrew Abernathy employs the concept of 'kingdom' as an entry point for organising Isaiah's major themes. Four features frame Abernathy study: God, the King; the lead agents of the King; the realm of the Kingdom and the people of the King. While his primary aim is to show how 'kingdom' is fundamental to Isaiag whenh understood within its Old Testament context, interspersed canonical reflections assist those who are wrestling with how to read Isaiah as Christian Scripture in, and for, the Church. Content: Series Preface Author's Preface Abbreviations Introduction 1. God, the king now and to come in Isaiah 1-39 2. God, the only saving king in Isaiah 40-55 3. God, the warrior, international, and compassionate king in Isaiah 56-66 4. The lead agents of the King 5. The realm and the people of God's Kingdom Conclusion Bibliography Index of Authors Index of scripture references

The Book of Isaiah and God's Kingdom Reviews

In a well-written and remarkably comprehensive treatment, Dr Andrew Abernethy takes us through the book by unfolding the way God and his kingdom are presented in each of the three major sections of the prophecy, and then by outlining the way this reigning God uses agents to accomplish his purpose. Dr Abernethy undertakes all of this exegetical and theological exploration with an eye peeled for the way New Testament writers, seven centuries later, pick up on these trajectories to bring us to Christ * D. A. Carson *
