Publisher's Synopsis
Philip Greenslade writes on Isaiah 1-39. Isaiah's prophetic ministry spanned the reigns of four Judean kings. He spoke out the word of God in a critical phase of God's people, urging the kings to trust in God rather than politics. This is a challenge to us all - to put our entire faith in God rather than in our own wisdom. We are given a glimpse of the Lord's kingdom, as we are taken to the very heart of worship. Ian Stackhouse takes us through the Pastoral Epistles which contain some of the most 'passionate, charismatic and personal verses in the whole of Scripture'. The advice Paul gives to his young charge Timothy is very relevant today. We are given some of the most important theological tools with which to combat New Age spirituality. And we are to learn once again to fan into flame the gift of God that is in us.
