| book description |

In Unwavering Holiness: Pivotal Moments in the Book of Isaiah, Part One, Walter Brueggemann and Brent Strawn lead readers through Isaiah 1-39, moving between looming predictions of punishment against Israel for breaking covenant with God and shining moments that lift the ultimate hope of Israelâ€™s restoration. Walter Brueggemann and Brent Strawn provide an accessible guide to Isaiah, in two parts, helping contemporary readers to grasp both the uncompromising demands of Godâ€™s holiness and Godâ€™s unshakable faithfulness to covenant relationship and desire to bring about a good future for Godâ€™s people. Isaiah is a dramatic book of prophecy and oracles that sweeps through the histories of Israelâ€™s kings and dealings with surrounding nations, levying judgment, and destruction but also offering the hope of restoration, blessing, and shalom. This great prophetâ€™s words are a lot to take in. Israel is taken to task for exploiting the poor and seeking security in political treaties and the human economy rather than in the fidelity of God. Ignoring the call of covenant to enact economic justice and righteousness for neighbors, Israel experiences the holy rule of God as working through geopolitical events that lead to the demise of Jerusalem. But Isaiah doesnâ€™t rest hereâ€”Unwavering Holiness forecasts ahead to the promise of return to Jerusalem from the Babylonian exile and to the imagination of the early church, inspired by the poetry of Isaiah to place its hope in Jesus the Messiah. The ultimacy of Godâ€™s governance and faithfulness in the swirl of global political chaos and fear anchors this Bible study, helping readers grasp Isaiahâ€™s vision of the covenantal fidelity of the Lord who wills newness amid sordid failed history. This book will help readers seek to identify the movement of God in the seeming chaos of sociopolitical machinationsâ€”in the midst of the natural consequences of forsaking the holy way on a global scale (climate disaster and the self-destruction of fearful, power-mongering governments)â€”and to continue to look for the inbreaking of Godâ€™s shalom. Questions for reflection and discussion are included at the end of each chapter, making this book ideal for individual or group study.
