What is the argument of Isaiah as a book? Is there even one? We
are considering the internal evidence and come to the conclusion
that yes, indeed, there is a coherence to the collection of the
oracles spanning 66 chapters. This is why we can call Isaiah "the
gospel in one book" and also why the New Testament writers will
connect the prophecy of Isaiah to the mission of Jesus for
forgiveness of sin for all nations: "Behold the Lamb of God who
takes away the sins of the world." This message has far-reaching
consequences and calls for a profound reset for Christians today
who have co-opted the gospel to suit their own ideologies.
