Synopsis

The Book of Isaiah is the longest and most quoted of the Prophets. Its language soars. Its poetry is complex as well as inspiring. Its message is eternal and universal.

How does one capture the meaning and the beauty, the context and the historical background in today's language without losing the scope and eloquence of the prophet and the interpretations of the Sages and classic commentaries?

The Milstein Edition does it to an amazing degree, thanks to the brilliance of the ArtScroll/Mesorah team of scholars and writers led by Rabbi Nosson Scherman.

This translation and commentary is especially important because many verses in the Book of Isaiah have been twisted out of context to support beliefs that are antithetical to the message of the prophet as it was understood by Jews since the days of Isaiah.

This outstanding series features:

  • Newly set, accurate Hebrew text of Tanach
  • A highly regarded new English translation, firmly grounded in traditional sources
  • A commentary culled from classic sources and presented gracefully and literately
  • Newly set Hebrew commentaries of Rashi, Radak, and Metzudos Tzion and David, so you can study on many levels
  • An Overview that illuminates the life and message of Isaiah
  • Introductions and explanations of difficult concepts

  • Ribbon place-marker; gilded page heads

    Among the many topics in this volume are:
  • The eternity of Israel as the Chosen People
  • Universal recognition of Hashem's sovereignty
  • The futility of rote observance
  • The degrading influence of greed and selfishness

  • The greatness of King Hezekiah
  • The miraculous downfall of Sennacherib

  • The foolishness of idolatry
  • The vulnerability of power
  • Isaiah as the Book of consolation
  • Maaseh HaMerkavah / The Heavenly Chariot
  • Soaring prophecies about the Messianic Era
