Isaiah


3:30 to 5:30 pm
11/17/2023
Conference Room 2

The Isaiah group will continue its focus on the theology of Isaiah. Whereas in 2022 we explored Isaiah's anthropology, in 2023 we will consider Isaiah's doctrine of God. We welcome paper proposals on specific passages or themes in Isaiah that explore Isaiah's portrayal of God. Papers on exegesis, reception history, or theological interpretation are welcome. For more information, contact Andrew Abernethy ([email protected]) and Wilson de Angelo Cunha ([email protected]).
