My relatives are reading Isaiah, and they got no idea what it means!

Hello;

My relatives are confused. They are reading the Bible weekly together and are now on Isaiah.

They emailed me and said, "We got no clue...some parts just go over our heads..."

Does anyone have a child's commentary or an outline without any jargon to help them out?

Or can anyone post a simple outline. I am swamped and cannot. Please point to Christ and please use simple and non-religious words if possible.

They are eagerly reading and making great strides and attending a local church most Sundays,and I want to nurture this desire.

I think "The Bible Speaks Today" and "Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries" are pretty easy.

The "Preach The Word" series is pastoral in nature

I've noticed Joel Beeke always recommends the "Focus on the Bible" and "Welwyn" series

btw, i got an email from my Aunt, she's been a Christian for about 50-60 years (goes to a non-denom charismatic church) - this is what she asked, "My 87 year old client asked me about my faith, she keeps saying she will die soon. I told her about Jesus and told her Jesus was the way to heaven and quoted John 3:16. What other scriptures are there to give to her?" - Sadness

I'm not too familiar with this, but it might be worth checking out as an online resource...

I told her about Jesus and told her Jesus was the way to heaven and quoted John 3:16. What other scriptures are there to give to her?" - Sadness


I still think that's too hard. It needs to be concise, easy to read and jargon-free.

They are primarily just reading the Scriptures and they say that this is hard enough without reading 20 extra pages on every chapter in adition to the Bible itself.

They are making good progress....in May they were in Leviticus and Deut. and sent me a few questions about eating crustaceans and capital punishment, so I am glad for questions and probing inquiries from them.


They are looking for about a paragraph or two per chapter to give them a basic overview of the book and not a verse by verse exegesis.

Perg, I know this isn't what you really want.

Can't do better than than this guy. He's not too hard to follow...
Amazon Amazon

And not too expensive in a used paperback.

My suggestion: take a commentary you like, and use the Table of contents or the author's outline, and simplify it yourself, and send it to your relatives.

My Outline

Here's my outline. Don't know if it would be helpful or not. It isn't a paragraph by paragraph outline, but if one keeps it in mind, one can fairly easily follow the train of thought. I think that the best volume on Isaiah for someone in their shoes is Barry Webb on Isaiah. It is short and nonintimidating, uses normal language, and is inexpensive.

I. Israel is bad, and the consequences that result (1-5)
A. Plea for repentance (1)
B. God is the judge (2)
C. God will judge (3)
D. The glory of Jesus (4)
E. Israel, the wild grapes (5)
II. Isaiah's call to the ministry and first prophetic deliverance (6-12)
A. Isaiah sees the holiness of God, and God cleanses him (6)
B. The promise of the birth of Jesus (7)
C. The Assyrian invasion as judgment on Israel (8)
D. Hope in the midst of judgment (9:1-7)
E. Hope does not eliminate judgment (9:8-10:4)
F. The instrument of judgment (Assyria) will be judged, and the Messiah
will come (10:5-11:16
G. Singing as the result of salvation (12)
III. Don't trust to foreign nations; trust only in the Lord (13-23)
A. Babylon is toast (13-14:23)
B. Assyrian is toast (14:24-27)
C. Philistia is toast (14:28-32)
D. Moab is toast (15-16)
E. Damascus is toast (17)
F. Cush is toast (18)
G. Egypt is toast, but there is amazing hope for them (19-20)
H. Babylon is toast (21)
I. Jerusalem is toast (!) (22)
J. Tyre and Sidon are toast (23)
IV. The last judgment of all the world (24-27)
A. The earth (24)
B. Death (25)
C. What will happen to the righteous (26-27)
V. More calls to repent (28-35)
A. Ephraim and Jerusalem are toast without repentance (28-29)
B. Stop seeking an Egyptian solution to every problem! (30-31)
C. The righteous king (32)
D. A prayer for deliverance (33)
E. God will judge the nations (34)
F. A remnant will always remain (35)
VI. Historical bridge from judgment to mercy: the story of Hezekiah's
deliverance (36-39)
VII. Comfort for God's people (40-66)
A. Comfort is to be found in God alone (40-41)
B. God will send His Servant (42-43)
C. The folly of idolatry (44)
D. God uses even pagan rulers (45)
E. God's enemy destroyed (46-47)
F. Affliction is for refinement of faith (48)
G. God will afflict His suffering servant, Jesus (49-53)
H. Resurrection for God's people (54)
I. God's Word brings resurrection power (55)
J. God's Word will even save Gentiles (56)
K. Idolatry is even more stupid in light of what has been said (57)
L. Hypocrisy (58-59)
M. Israel will be glorious (60-62)
N. Final Judgment is terrifying for the wicked, nothing to fear for the
righteous (63-66)

I still think that's too hard. It needs to be concise, easy to read and jargon-free.
They are looking for about a paragraph or two per chapter to give them a basic overview of the book and not a verse by verse exegesis.
Well then, in that case the notes from ESV Study are excellent or a one-volume commentary; Other than that, any good Bible Handbook or Old Testament Introduction or Survey is good
