In the October 1973 Ensign magazine, there is a talk by Elder Bruce R McConkie titled " Ten Keys to Understanding Isaiah."
To help my students apply these keys and actually start STUDYING Isaiah, I made this handout.
I recommend taking the time to see how McConkie's suggestions will help you understand Isaiah.
A better copy of the handout is available with this link to my Google Drive
Donald W. Parry has rendered a new translation of the book of Isaiah to help readers better understand and appreciate the writings of Isaiah..
Dr. Parry's translation draws from the doctrines of the
Restoration, as well as from the earliest Hebrew manuscripts found in the Dead
Sea Scrolls to preserve and illuminate the original meaning of this sacred
text..
This books features Speaker Identification, which allows the
reader to know whose voice is speaking in every verse of Isaiah. This volume
provides a thorough introduction to help readers gain some background and
context to Isaiah. And finally, this translation features textual notes which
will give insight into the Hebrew behind certain English words, and provide
some insights found in the Dead Sea Scrolls..
Donald Parry explains, "The book of Isaiah is an
exceptional, one-of-a-kind book—both in its presentation and in its message of
the Savior Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Moreover, the book of Isaiah is
astoundingly wonderful because it presents the direct speech (the actual words)
of the LORD Jesus Christ throughout. In point of fact, the LORD speaks more
than two hundred times in Isaiah. Truly, Isaiah is an extraordinary work.".
