Kregel recently released a collection of essays on surrounding the famous passage of Scripture from Isaiah 53. The Gospel According to Isaiah 53 includes some important essays from Walter Kaiser, Darrell Bock, Craig Evans, and others on topics ranging from the use of Isaiah 53 in the Pauline letter to Isaiah 53 in Acts 8. The following video explains the purpose of the book.

I have an extra copy of The Gospel According to Isaiah 53 that I would like to giveaway to one lucky reader of this blog. So, if you want to win yourself a copy of this work, just leave a comment below telling me how this book will benefit your studies. At the end of the week I will select one lucky winner. So, comment away.
This book would help me in my study by giving more of a backdrop of redemption in all of scripture and cohesiveness of the gospel as it unfolds in Holy Scripture.
I am actually working on a dissertation proposal on reading elements of Isaiah as Christian scripture to submit with applications this upcoming year. This could be an excellent resource.
Okay. This book has been on my “must read” list for almost a year. Isaiah 53 is my favorite chapter in the Bible and God has really used it in my life in powerful ways. As soon as I saw this book, I knew it was a must for me. I’d love to win a free copy.
Wow. This book looks amazing. This would be helpful for me for numerous reasons. For example, First: To know and glorify God more. Second: I am in full-time ministry, and this would be an excellent resource to learn from so that I can minister to my local church gathering. Third: To better communicate the Gospel, especially to the Jewish people.
Any study that explores the relationship of the Old Testament to the New is worthwhile and helpful.
Would love to own this book and use it to learn in a deeper way how the gospel of Jesus Christ is foretold in Isaiah 53, how the plan of redemption runs through the Old testament, with the goal of being able to share that with others. Thanks!
It’s Isaiah 53; what more can I say?!
As a Jewish believer in Jesus and a Baptist Pastor to boot . . . I so appreciate good writing on this golden gospel chapter from the Tanach. I love to share it’s truths with others and want to help those who share the gospel with God’s beloved earthly nation to have as strong a grasp of important scriptures such as Isaiah 53. This looks like a book to savor and continue turning back to time and time again.
I’d love to use this to dive further into Isaiah 53, and apply it in pastoral settings.
I hope it is not too late to comment. I am currently preaching, teaching, and working in Eastern Europe. Isaiah 53 comes up frequently in discussions and studies here. This book could greatly improve my understanding of the text and help in my preaching and teaching of this passage. Thanks for considering me. God bless.
Isaiah 53 comes up when I get into conversations about the gospel with Jews. This happened several times when I was studying at the Master’s College IBEX program. If this book would help me to expound upon the reality of Jesus being identified as the authorial intended servant then I know it will be a valuable resource for my library.
Thanks!
There’s always more to learn about how the NT authors read the OT.
The contributors to this book have served the church well in their writing ministries. It would be good to hear again from them on this important subject.
Understanding the NT author’s hermeneutical perspective is an important aspect in exegesis. This book could provide another helpful tool for thinking through this issue.
I have always wanting to study Isaiah 53 clearly. I want to learn about how the ch.53 depicts coming Messiah’s suffering, and His atonement for sins for the world.
This book will more than likely move me further away from skinny jeans. Nuff’ said.
