Course Overview

An in-depth study of the book of Isaiah, a prophet whose ministry spanned approximately 50 years (740-690 BC).

This study will be most beneficial if students secure a copy of Encountering the Book of Isaiah: A Historical and Theological Survey (Bryan Beyer; Baker Academic, 2007) to use alongside the Bible and the narrated PowerPoint talks.
