Isaiah (Summer 2020) from Regent Audio on Vimeo.
This course will introduce students to the book of Isaiah, one of the most influential works in the canon. We will focus on the leading themes of the multifaceted message of Isaiah, noting in particular their continuity and their development throughout, and thereby providing students with a sense of both the unity and the diversity of the material within the overall purpose of the book. Attention will be given to the relevance of the various Isaianic concerns to the life of the people of God in the contemporary world and in so doing to highlight ways in which the book can be preached both in the church and the world. At the same time, we will articulate the theological contribution of Isaiah to the NT by examining the ways in which numerous Isaianic texts have profoundly shaped the message of NT authors (e.g. Isaiah 6 in the Gospels and Acts; the use of the so-called Messianic prophecies), and we will discuss the problems related thereto.
