Isaiah

I’ve always been intrigued with the book of Isaiah, and I’ve seen it often quoted. I decided to finally study it to put verses and their proper context, and this study guided me through that process. My big take away is that God is a God of both righteousness and justice, not one or the other, but both. I recommend this study and will probably use this series for other Bible studies.

We used this in our weekly Monday night women's bible study group. We started in May and completed 6 months later. We used this as an in-depth study to really study an in-depth book - the longest in the bible - 66 chapters. I read some of the reviews who said Isaiah was redundant which I found interesting. There was a bit of moaning along the way but these were the messages to God's people then and now - mess up and there are consequences - God used their enemies against them to punish them. Is that what's happening today in our world? Is our world redundant on the past? Are we forcing God out of our world like they did then? Are we introducing so much paganism / idols into our world that we are not focused on God like they did then? Should we be so surprised by what is happening in our world? our schools? our government? by what we are allowing to happen around us? Me thinks no. OH!!! And let's not forget about God's forgiveness - over and over and over and over again. AND His continual love for us - so undeserved yet given so freely.

So yes - this was a long in-depth study and sometimes redundant messages but very timely for those of us who want to GET God's message out to others that the time is here and now and we are all only our last breath away. We are here not for our pleasure but to further God's Kingdom while we are here on earth.

The home group of which I am part used this book to study the Book of Isaiah over four months in early 2023. Each week we read a chapter and answered the study questions on our own and then discussed our answers as a group. I used the Kindle version of the book in conjunction with a hard copy of the NIV Bible to complete this work.

I'd recommend using a hard or soft cover of this book since the formatting is significantly different on the iPad, and formatting is crucial in the layout of each chapter. Overall, the insights of the authors and the related study questions were helpful if not challenging.

All of the books in this series are solid theologically and ask good questions. Its the best single series I've personally used for introducing a book along with its purpose and who it was written to (if its an epistle) and why it was written. Very good stuff.

While it asked some good questions about the chapters of Isaiah, I found a lot of them to be redundant and after a while I didn't feel like I was learning anything new about Isaiah. I guess I expected something different.

This whole series provides simple (so it's not very time consuming) yet interesting study questions if you want to go deeper in the Bible.
