Overview

Recognizing the need for a basic understanding of this rich prophetic book,
the author has written a general introduction. He covers the high points and
lays a firm foundation for future examination of this important section of
Scripture.

Stressing the value of reading the book itself, Dr. Martin points
out that a knowledge of its factual content is basic to its interpretation. Therefore
he asserts that the serious student of prophecy will want to read Isaiah
more than once.

Abounding with Messianic allusions, the book of Isaiah is second
only to the Psalms in the number of times it is referred to by New Testament writers.
Throughout its pages are found prophecies whose fulfillment is realized in
Jesus Christ. Thus, Isaiah contains an important historical emphasis correlated
with a mighty prophetic theme.
