Buy new: $32.76 / Used from: $25.98 On the academic level, there still remains a need for a Technical, Semi-technical, conservative commentary on Isaiah that interacts with Beuken, Koole, Childs, and Bleckinsopp, etc., but Oswalt is more than sufficient (and excellent) for most pastors.

 | The New American Commentary: Isaiah 1-39, Vol. 15A (New American Commentary) by Gary Smith
Buy new: $21.89 / Used from: $21.28 A marvelous commentary, which I proofread for B & H Publishing Group. Smith is not afraid to go his own way on numerous occsions, and his solutions seem eminently sane. Further, he is equally adept at teasing out the theological themes around which Isaiah is centered. Smith has previously done commentaries on Amos (Mentor below) and Hosea-Amos-Micah (Zondervan).

 | Isaiah (Old Testament Library) by Brevard S. Childs
Buy new: $44.96 / Used from: $36.85 Replacement for Kaiser and Westermann. Canonical approach, especially literary features, theology, history of interpretation.
