""Those who have appreciated other volumes in this outstanding series will not be disappointed with this one. Here is a commentary on the most beautiful section of the Old Testament that is scholarly, but not supercilious; practical, but not superficial. Without apology, it is addressed to the New Testament church, for whom it sounds a clear note of unconditional Gospel. It is hard to imagine how Isaiah's message in these chapters could be summed up any way more aptly than it is by Lessing: We are going home."" -Kenneth A. Cherney Jr. in Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly, Vol 110 no.1 (Winter 2013) ""This is a commentary that draws the reader more deliberately into the Scriptures it seeks to exposit. It makes the original text more accessible and understandable. It never attempts to undermine or obfuscate the message of the Holy Spirit has given. Lessing never loses sight of the metanarrative of redemption an emphatically keeps the glory of God at the center of the study."" -David Pitman in The Journal of Evangelical Theology ""Overall, this is an outstanding and unique commentary with valuable lexical and syntactic notes to help those who need a little assistance with their Hebrew and with NT application. At the same time, the commentary does not break new ground in understanding Isaiah 40-55, but it offers many solid Hebrew explanations that are not available in most of other series; therefore it deserves a place in every pastor's library."" -Gary V. Smith in The Bulletin for Biblical Research, 23.4
