| book description |

Walter Brueggemann and Brent Strawn lead readers through the prophetic book of Isaiah, moving between looming predictions of punishment against Israel for breaking covenant with God and exultation in the ultimate hope of Israelâ€™s restoration. Unwavering Faithfulness provides an accessible guide to Isaiah, helping contemporary readers 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 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 destruction of Jerusalem. But Isaiah doesnâ€™t rest here, and Unwavering Faithfulness forecasts ahead to the promise of Israelâ€™s 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 anchors this Bible study, helping readers grasp Isaiahâ€™s vision of the covenantal fidelity of the Lord who wills newness and redemption amid failed histories. This book will help readers seek to identify the movement of God 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) and to continue to look for the in breaking 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.
