Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J. is a prolific scripture scholar. His new book, Commentary on the Book of Isaiah, unloads the mysteries contained in this prophetic book Isaiah is one the greatest prophets in the Old Testament. The name Isaiah means ‘God is Salvation’ which is the main theme of the book. God has come to save his people and this message is what makes Isaiah a book for every Catholic to read, understand, and meditate. The Book of Isaiah is not always clear and straightforward. This commentary organizes the events and prophecies in chronological history to help the reader grasp all the grace and messages in the book. This book can help us in our understanding of our faith as it traces the themes of the oneness of God, his perfections reflected in Creation, God’s punishment, the remnant, and the sending of a Messiah. “After the Psalms, Isaiah has been the most influential Old Testament book in the history of the Church, making a disproportionate impact on her liturgy and theology. Given how much the lectionary dwells on Isaiah (more than Mark!), it is a treasure to have this well-researched guide from Fr. Mitch Pacwa, which combines highly detailed explanations of the history and language of the book with a lively concern for its spiritual application.” —Dr. John Bergsma, Professor and scripture scholar, author of A Catholic Introduction to the Bible
