Eye opening and useful for all scriptures

For my search of the scriptures, Dr. Gileadi is my favorite author. He minimally superimposes his prior beliefs onto the text. He carefully examines the text itself and provides multiple supports. This has led Gileadi to some controversial interpretations. Without these interpretations though, Isaiah becomes disjointed with odd tangents that don't make sense. Gileadi treats Isaiah as a whole. It is gratifying when contiguous verses are harmonized by an interpretation. Gileadi harmonizes the entire book of Isaiah, with insights that harmonize other scriptures. What used to seem like odd tangents in passages now make sense as part of the message, and not just in Isaiah. Further, this unified approach gives Gileadi mountains of comparative checks. Gileadi has made massive strides towards a unified theory of the scriptures of which Isaiah is the key. I can't recommend this author more highly.

Wonderful Author

I love this book. Gileadi gives so much information to help us really understand Isaiah, and then translates it into modern English. This is my second copy, actually, because I let one of my children borrow the other one, and I needed it to teach Isaiah in Sunday School. I definitely recommend this book.

An Argument For One Isaiah, Among Other Things

Avraham Gileadi, true to his title, analyzes Isaiah as a literary work (rather than as history). He dissects and examines the book's structure at multiple levels, and repeatedly discusses how different sections of Isaiah inform each other's meaning. _The Literary Message of Isaiah_ includes not only his commentary, but his new translation of Isaiah, together with a thorough concordance to his new translation, to enable you to carry on you own research.Gileadi is a believer, and quite openly consults Isaiah as an eschatological work, a guide to the last days. Even if you don't believe Isaiah's prophecies, you should read this book as part of any study of Isaiah, because the complex, consistent and unified structure of the book of Isaiah, as explicated carefully by Gileadi, provide probably the best argument of single authorship.

The key to unlock a sealed book

This book was written with both Jew and Gentile in mind. The in-depth study of Gileadi can be seen in his clear and concise translation (a 7+ years endeavor) of Isaiah. He has taken this sealed book of the Old Testament and has revealed its many treasures and mysteries concerning the end days (or, as you will find out, our day). He has done this by analyzing the various literary structures Isaiah uses as well as interpretive devices such as parallelisms -including the chiastic structure that is so prevalent within Isaiah-key words, interconnections, code words, code names, rhetorical connections, and the list goes on. Gileadi provides these interpretive keys - plus others - to you and opens up the locks that have sealed this book.I find myself, with the Bible and Gileadi's book spread out across the table, gaining new insights that I thought I would never have. It is not a book for the faint hearted and requires time and patience. But then, what can we expect when the topic is Isaiah?

Excellent Translation, Valuable Resource

Avraham's Isaiah translation is in the top ten list of my resource library. I consider him a premier Isaiah scholar: one foreordained to do this great work.
