Isaiah

THE PROPHET, The Son of Amoz
Prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah # Isa 1:1
His Call and anointing # Isa 6:1-8
His Family # Isa 7:3 8:3,4

GENERALLY REGARDED AS THE GREATEST of the Old Testament Prophets
(1) Because he is preëminently the Prophet of Redemption
(2) Many of the passages in his book are among the finest in literature.Some modern scholars have studied this poetical prophecy as a botanist studies flowers, dissecting and analyzing them.By the use of this scientific method the beauty and unity of the book, like that of the rose, is almost forgotten as the different parts are pulled to pieces for examination.
