This video deserves some love. I'm currently reading through the new volume on Isaiah by Paul Wegner. Though not overly deep, it is not without some useful insights and gives the reader a strong overview for Isaiah's composition and thought process. They follow the NIV but there's plenty of discussion on the original Hebrew. I did pick this up because of the price point and it gives you commentary on the entire text of Isaiah as opposed to breaking it up into it's various 'books'. There's also good discussion on current thinking about 40-66 and whether or not it was written by Isaiah or a later prophetic school. On that subject JJM Roberts has some good things to say in both his Hermeneia commentary and in an excellent lecture on TH-cam. The Tyndale is easy reading and I'm going through it at a good pace, but you need your NIV bible open or close at hand. Wegner offers an excellent deconstruction of the book's composition which is a very helpful way to begin to look at Isaiah even if you don't agree with it (which Roberts does not). I'm sure volumes are hit and miss, but the series does include respected volumes by Jay Sklar (Leviticus), Richard Hess (Joshua) and Gordon Wenham (Numbers). They are also less expensive (in Canada) than the New Beacon which is frustrating.
Matthew by R T France is very good

Thanks for the tip. Local pricing is an issue unfortunately. Will give this some thought. Blessings!
I know what you mean about Tyndale, sometimes they are a pleasant surprise, I had a similar experience with Hosea
Of course
