You can get help understanding the Isaiah passages in this reading by buying Kerry's book "Learning to Love Isaiah."
In this episode Kerry and Stephen discuss Abinadi's teachings. They go over the story to help us understand Abinadi and the power of his story. They then delve into the doctrine Abinadi teaches, especially how he teaches us about Christ and Christ's mission and how Christ is the Father and how He is the Son. This includes understanding something about Isaiah and how Abinadi uses Isaiah.
Kerry references an article by John Gee, as found in https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/jbms/vol1/iss1/4/.
