Prerequisite Courses

Course Memo

In this course, students develop their abilities to interpret the rich and complex traditions joined together in the book of Isaiah. We will consider the book as a whole but focus closely on chapters 40-66 (often called Second and Third Isaiah) as a reflection of the on-going interpretation of the Isaiah tradition. Students will complete an interpretative essay on a select passage from Isaiah; analyze and respond to a sermon or teaching source based on Isaiah; and prepare a final project that applies the fruits of our study to worship or another ministerial context.
