Marc Chagall, "The Prophet Isaiah" |
The class begins this coming Sunday, September 20, 6-7:30 PM at Redeemer Fellowship Church.
Special emphasis will be given to Isaiah chapter 6 and Isaiah chapter 53 (which is sometimes called "the Fifth Gospel."
Students are expected to bring their Bibles to each class. I will teach and allow for questions and discussion.
I will encourage students to use Isaiah this fall for their own personal devotional and prayer times, and keep an "Isaiah Journal" recording their own insights and questions.
I am using the following books for my own Isaiah studies:
The Theology of the Book of Isaiah: Diversity and Unity, by John Goldengay
The NIV Application Commentary: Isaiah, by John Oswalt
The Prophecy of Isaiah: Introduction and Commentary, by Alec Motyer
The Gospel According to Isaiah 53: Encountering the Suffering Servant in Jewish and Christian Theology, Darrell Bock and Mitch Glaser, eds.
