Christ Our Savior: The Greatest Prophecy: Isaiah 53 - Paperback

by John C. Whitcomb (Author)

John Whitcomb calls Isaiah 53 the greatest prophecy of the Old Testament. Of all the prophecies of the coming Messiah, none can quite compare to Isaiah's portrait of the Lord's Servant in His rejection, suffering, death, and resurrection. Dr. Whitcomb's careful exposition of this crucial prophetic passage is a valuable tool for all students of the Bible.
