The Gospel According to Isaiah 53, Encountering The Suffering Servant In Jewish And Christian Theology, Darrell L. Bock & Mitch Glaser Editors

   Eleven evangelical, biblical scholars combine their skills to provide the church with a thorough and faithful exposition of the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah. Each writer provides dispassionate and profound research into one of the most fascinating chapters in the entire Bible. Questions such as

• What is a Jewish interpretation of Isaiah 53? 
• What is a Christian interpretation of Isaiah 53? 
• Are there any agreements between the two? 
• What are the differences? 
• How do we preach Isaiah 53 today?    

   This book is not a quick read. It is well researched and therefore can get quite academic at times. On the other hand, pastors, professors, seminarians and serious students of the Bible will find page after page of in-depth research coupled with warm devotion. Though not written in a simple style The Gospel According to Isaiah 53 is worth the effort. Having now worked my way through this helpful volume, it will not leave my study. On every page, after page, the wonderful beauty of God's plan of redemption is on full display! Thank you, Richard E. Averbeck, Michael L. Brown, Walter C. Kaiser Jr., Michael J. Wilkins, Darrell L. Bock, Craig A. Evans, David L. Allen, Robert B. Chisholm Jr., John S. Feinberg, Mitch Glaser, and Donald R. Sunukjian for giving the church this delightful expose on Isaiah 53.
