SISTERS IN CHRIST - THE EPIC OF EDEN ISAIAH | KINGSLAND CAMPUS

TUESDAY MORNINGS | 9:30 - 11:30 AM | Beginning September 10th

Sisters in Christ will be studying the book of Isaiah this fall. It is an 8 week study by Sandra L. Richter titled The Epic of Eden Isaiah

"Often named 'the fifth gospel,' the book of the prophet Isaiah has ire to say about Israel's coming Messiah than any other Old Testament book. Brilliant, courageous, uncompromising, this prophet declared that 'the year of the LORD' had come and God's people needed to either step up, or stand down. Indeed, when Isaiah spoke, kings trembled. But too often, when Isaiah speaks today, God's people have trouble hearing. We often miss the larger context. In this study, Dr. Sandra Richter takes participants back to the 8th century BCE. This 8 week study explains Israel's religion and economy, explores the definition and role of the prophets, and helps us to apply the message of this great champion of the faith to our lives today."

Sisters in Christ meets Tuesdays 9:30-11:30 in room S101 on the Kingsland Campus, beginning September 10, 2024.

Homework is encouraged but not essential to our group.
