Grace Institute: Isaiah

Isaiah Grace Institute for Biblical Leadership Fall 2008

Isaiah wrote in a time of crisis for the nation of Judah, as invading armies threatened them on every side. Isaiah asks the simple question, "whom do you trust?" Will Judah trust in armies, in alliances with foreign armies, in their own ingenuity? Or will Judah trust in the one true God, the Holy One of Israel? In the process of asking this question the prophet Isaiah gives us some of the most beautiful and lofty descriptions of our God. Isaiah could be described as systematic theology set to poetry.

Course Description

This 12 week class is a survey of the 66 chapters of the book of Isaiah. Each Sunday morning we will explore the message of the prophet Isaiah by first understanding the historical, poitical, and social context of the nation of Judah at the time of Isaiah. Then we will rapidly work our way through the book to see God's message for Judah at this time, and how that message applies to us today. Students will be expected to commit to attending the lectures and read along and outline the book through the term.
