A group of seventeen Christians, of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and involved in different ways in encounter with people of different faiths, gathered together in that holy place for a week to read the scriptures together, to offer one another various approaches to interpreting the passages selected here, and to bring to the texts the experiences and insights of their diverse contexts. All the studies offered here have in this way been piloted with an actual group, albeit in somewhat unusual circumstances, and in their present form revised in the light of that experience.

  • Isaiah 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Isaiah 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE AND WRITER The title of this book of the Bible, as is true of the other prophetical books, comes from its writer. The book claims to have come from Isaiah (1:1; 2:1; 7:3; 13:1; 20:2; 37:2, 6, 21; 38:1, 4, 21; 39:3, 5, 8), and Jesus Christ and the apostles quoted him as being the writer at least 21 times, more often than they quoted all the other writing prophets combined. There are also many more quotations and allusions to Isaiah in the New Testament without reference to Isaiah being the writer. Kenneth Hanna wrote that there are more than 400 quotations from or allusions to the Book of Isaiah in the New Testament.1 J. A. Alexander noted that 47 of the 66 chapters of Isaiah are either quoted or alluded to in the New Testament, and that the 21 quotations attributed directly to Isaiah were drawn from chapters 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 29, 40, 42, 53, 61, and 65.2 The only Old Testament book referred to more frequently than Isaiah in the New Testament is Psalms. "It would be difficult to overstate the importance of Isaiah for the Christology of the church."3 The name of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, is the only one connected with the book in any of the Hebrew manuscripts or ancient versions. Josephus, the Jewish historian who wrote at the end of the first century A.D., believed that Isaiah wrote this book.

  • Recent Work on the Old Testament Prophets
    Recent Work on the Old Testament Prophets H. L. ELUSON THE LAST authoritative survey in English of movements in Old Testament studies was The Old Testament and Modern Study, produced in 1951 by members of the Society for Old Testament Study under the editorship of H. H. Rowley. It was in effect a survey of the main developments in the previous thirty years. The chapter on The Prophetic Literature was contributed by Prof. Otto Eissfeldt, the third edition of whose The Old Testament: An Introduction appeared in English translation in 1965. In the above­ mentioned chapter he began by pointing out that both the main works on prophecy and the main commentaries on the prophetic books that had appeared since 1880 still had great value. This was equivalent to saying that the foundations laid between 1880 and 1940 had been able to withstand attacks on them. He went on to stress, 'The new approach to the study of the prophets is limited to certain specified traits in them and in the books that bear their names'. The specific points he dealt with, apart from comments on outstand­ ing works on individual books, were three: cultic prophets, the origin and transmission of the prophetic books, and the supranormal ex­ periences of the prophets. The two former largely belong together, for mainly as the result of the work of G. Holscher (Die Propheten), Mowinckel and Haldar (Associations of Cult Prophets among the Ancient Semites) there had grown up the tendency to see all the prophets as linked with sanctuaries-that such prophets existed is indubitable, and we cannot a priori deny that some of the canonical prophets were linked with the temple in Jerusalem-and so the prophetic books were regarded as the products of groups of sanctuary prophets rather than of individuals, even if the one whose name is given to the book was a leading figure among them.

  • Isaiah the Prophet Notes
    Isaiah, The Prophet And The Prophecy An Introduction To Isaiah The Gospel According To Isaiah Isaiah 1:1 Scripture quotations taken from the New American Standard Bible® (NASB), Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973,1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation Used by permission. www.Lockman.org Whenever I start a new book of the Bible, either in a study or just for my own personal study, I find I always want to know a bit about the background of the book. Who is it that the Holy Spirit used to write the book? What do we know about the person that God is using? Isaiah, the man, was a prophet of God and we will see that his base of operations was in Jerusalem in the southern kingdom of Judah. In the book, Isaiah provides the vision or prophecy given to him by God. This prophecy includes the current, near future and far future of God’s people, the Jews. He deals with both kingdoms that were in existence during his life, the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Isaiah also spends a lot of time telling us about the Messiah, to include significant detail about His first and second coming. Isaiah also provides some history of events taking place in the region as well. The one thing I have learned over the years reading and studying this book is that Isaiah is a magnificent book to not only read, but to also study. I think Oswalt said it best about this book.

For example, compare Psalm in the much more literal New International Version :. Here, rather than shortening the original, the CEV has introduced new material by way of explanation, such as 'to take care of you in your old age'. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was barren, with no form of life; it was under a roaring ocean covered with darkness.
