Seminar: Isaiah

3 credits

Priority given to advanced students. Registration not confirmed until approved by the instructor.. Besides containing some of the Bible's most beautiful poetry, the Book of Isaiah is an important witness to periods of tremendous upheaval in Israel's history. This course will examine the book from a range of perspectives--literary, historical, and especially theological. We will consider how First, Second, and Third Isaiah make theological sense of difficult times and help later readers, including us, do the same.
