Isaiah’s Great Light: The Salvation of God in the Servant Songs

“Behold, My Servant.” Those provocative words begin some of the most powerful and moving poetic expressions of grace found anywhere in the Old Testament. The Servant Songs of Isaiah prophesy the highly anticipated ministry of a mysterious figure known as the Servant of Yahweh who would fulfill the greatest divine mission the world will ever see.

Isaiah’s Great Light will lead you through a study of Isaiah’s songs, written from the heart of a pastor desiring to help you see and experience the grace and kindness of God witnessed consistently throughout the ages.

This is a unique book. It is in equal parts an exegetical study, a work of pastoral comfort, a worshipful devotional resource, and a pastor theologian’s study of Christ. Many theological books are aimed at the head and not the heart; many practical living books are aimed at the heart and not the head. Isaiah’s Great Light aims at both, and reaches both. It stirs us to the core, even as it instructs us. In the shining tradition of John Stott and J. I. Packer, it is a lovely book ... In Isaiah’s Great Light, Kyle Swanson has given us a gift: a moving and insightful book that instructs our minds even as it lifts our hearts to worship. God has drawn near to us; all that is left for us to do now is to draw near to him.
