ISBN: 081922149X ISBN-13: 9780819221490 Publisher: Morehouse Publishing OUR PRICE: $19.76 Product Type: Paperback Published: September 2008 Annotation: The God of Second Isaiah, the Holy One of Israel, is increasingly foreign to modern Anglicans, who are often uncomfortable with the uncanny, fiery side of God. Unfortunately, this may leave Anglicans frustrated both with Gods non-rational ways and with our morality-centered Christianity. The new research behind this book reveals Second Isaiah as priestly, temple literature, expert at the Holy and its coming dawn on earth. Second Isaiah highlights priestly themes and quotes the temple texts to help approach that which is utterly mysterious. To study this material is to rediscover the overwhelming, absolute worth of God. |
