Description
by Monte S. Nyman
From his years of study and research, Monte S. Nyman has compiled Great Are the Words of Isaiah, a helpful LDS-based commentary that leads the reader through Isaiah section by section and topic by topic—using verse-by-verse commentary drawn from the LDS Standard Works, the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and the words of many prophets and apostles. Such high praise has not been recorded for any other book of scripture or group of prophetic writings. Yet many find Isaiah to be somewhat intimidating or difficult to understand, despite its importance. Six detailed appendices give easy cross-references to materials quoted or paraphrased in other scriptures and expressions by Church leaders concerning Isaiah, including: The Authorship of Isaiah, Ancient and Modern Commentary on Isaiah, Isaiah in the Book of Mormon, Isaiah in the Doctrine and Covenants, Isaiah in the New Testament, and The Prophet Joseph Smith and Isaiah. A comprehensive and valuable resource for both the average student and the serious scholar, this book will help you to understand and enjoy the book of Isaiah as a truly outstanding book of scripture.
