In CALVIN'S COMMENTARIES Isaiah is found in vol. 7 (Isaiah 1-32), and vol. 8 (Isaiah 33-66). Several factors combine to make CALVIN'S COMMENTARY ON ISAIAH particularly significant.
• Isaiah's brilliant clarity, his timeless message for our day, the beautiful praise language, and his detailed prophesy of the coming Messiah, make the book inherently of special worth,
• "Isaiah served God in the role of covenant prosecutor [along with numerous other Old Testament prophets -- sk]. His message consists of charges, condemnation, and judgments as he declares God's curse on Israel, Judah, and the nations. . . ." -- Reformation Study Bible, p. 1021.
• CALVIN'S COMMENTARY ON ISAIAH covers not only Isaiah's prophesy, but also some of the best thought of Augustine on Isaiah, and the shared history of Chronicles, which all bear on corporate faithfulness and sanctification.
