A Bible Study on Isaiah

Welcome to the extension of our study of Isaiah. A group of us from the congregation are meeting regularly to talk about the book and to ask, what is a prophet. What does a prophet do and say? Who are our prophets today and what are they doing and saying?

In our most recent meeting, we realized that we sometimes have thoughts to share between classes, so we're adding an on-line disucssion. We've read chapters 1 through 4 so far.

To get the discussion started, I might ask:
  1. What stands out to you about the first 4 chapters or about the discussions we have in class so far?
  2. How do you understand the balance of religion and politics in Isaiah's time and in ours?
  3. What would happen if our government officials added the position of prophet to cabinets and councils, local, state and national?

The questions are wide open on purpose. Interact with the book, with each other and with your faith journey. What's coming up as important for you?
