While many scholars divide the book with a gap of about 150 years between chapters 39 and 40, Wegner highlights the unified message of the book, including its three introductions (Is 1:1; 2:1; 13:1) paired with its three refrains (Is 48:22; 57:21; 66:24). Each part illuminates God's glorious plan for his people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tyndale Commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The \u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting, and purpose.
