Understanding the Old Testament Lecture 16: The Prophet of Isaiah in 3 Movements
PREMIUM | The Great Courses Presents: Understanding the Old Testament | Lectures
Examine the three distinct sections of Isaiah: first, the prophet’s stern denunciation of social injustice, and his intimation of a new era of peace under a messianic king; next, a promise of restoration and redemption for Israel, through the figure of the “Suffering Servant”; and finally, the vision of a post-exile Jerusalem, where all peoples are included within the worship of God.
