“This is precisely the kind of biblical scholarship the church needs: integrating fresh research with profound spiritual and theological insight. With an eye to the saints, ancient and modern, Stephen Cook shows how Isaiah calls us to surrender ourselves, with courageous humility, and thus find ourselves, with dizzying joy.”—Ellen F. Davis, Professor of Bible and Practical Theology, Duke Divinity School

"For those willing to wade into some unknown scriptural waters with this study, there is little doubt that they will find a treasure in 2 Isaiah."—Anglican Theological Review
