Explore the historical times of Isaiah, the literary artistry of the text, the role that the nations play in the unfolding vision of global and cosmic transformation, and the relationship between ethical praxis and worship.
Encounter the story of Isaiah’s last days with Hezekiah before the collapse of the Southern Kingdom Judah that leaves the people utterly landless and on the brink of despair. Isaiah’s servant songs call people then and now to mission, and the poet’s vision of a New Jerusalem speaks about the transformation of not only a city but also the entire people of God.
Isaiah’s message is a poem to be sung and a vision to be lived for all time.
