Author Description

Dr Nabetani is one of the founding fathers of the Asia Theological Association and of the Asia Graduate School of Theology in particular. He has written this useful monograph out of his love for ATA.

Asia Theological Association (ATA) is composed of theological educational institutions, committed to evangelical faith and scholarship, which are networking together, to serve the Church in equipping the people of God for the mission of the Lord Jesus Christ. ATA was established in 1970 as a direct outcome of the need expressed at several Asia wide conferences and consultations. Since then, it has grown into a movement committed to serving its members in the development of evangelical biblical theology by strengthening interaction, enhancing scholarship, promoting academic excellence, fostering spiritual and ministerial formation, and mobilizing resources to fulfill God's global mission within diverse Asian cultures.

Product Description

It is a joy to see Dr Gyoji Nabetani’s Isaiah published as the first volume of the ATA monograph series. Dr Nabetani is one of the leading Old Testament scholars among Japanese evangelicals, and Isaiah has held a lifelong interest for him. His doctoral dissertation was on the unity of Isaiah, not only of its message but also of its authorship. He has written scholarly commentaries and articles about this book, as well as expositions of Psalms, Genesis and other OT books. Though small in size, this new monograph is the distillation of a lifetime of scholarship.
