The Book of Isaiah
Tuesdays 16, 23 and 30 November 2010

The Book of Isaiah speaks very strongly to the situations in which it arose, but has also spoken strongly in subsequent centuries. Christians in particular have found within it prophecies pointing to both the birth and death of Christ, and passages from it are read throughout Advent, Christmas and Holy Week. It is therefore perhaps not surprising that it is sometimes referred to as the 'Fifth Gospel'. More recently, scholars have identified different parts to the book and even different 'Isaiahs'. All agree that it contains some of the most profound imagery of the Bible. This short course aims to open up some of these aspects of  this rich book.

The course is led by Canon Kevin Walton, Canon Chancellor of St Albans Cathedral, who is an Old Testament scholar with a particular interest and expertise in the Book of Isaiah.
