Interpreting Isaiah

10/06/2009

David G. Firth and H. G. M. Williamson (editors)

Ever since the first century, Christians have regarded the book of Isaiah as a high point of the Old Testament prophetic literature. Its key themes, such as the suffering servant, deliverance from exile, and new creation, have been viewed as reaching particular fulfilment in the gospel. Isaiah has been formative to the identity of the people of God. It is a text to be weighed, on which to meditate and pray, and through which to explore the ways in which God works.

Isaiah has also received more than its fair share of scholarly examination. While many excellent resources are now available, these tend to be either introductory or highly specialized; there are fewer that bridge the gap between the two. This volume contributes to that need: it assumes some foundational knowledge and guides readers through current issues and approaches. Here is evangelical scholarship that will inform, stimulate and reward diligent teachers and preachers of the Old Testament.

Well, Festival 2009 has now come and gone this year, but we sure had fun! Throughout the weekend we had about 1,500 people come to Cliff to enjoy worship, camping, sports, Bible teaching, dancing, live music, food and sunshine. Over the weekend we had fantastic weather, four days of warm sunshine, it couldn't have been any better! If you weren't able to attend this year's Festival then you really missed out, but don't worry as it will all be happening again next year on May 28th- 31st. We hope to see you again next year!
