We've got our work cut out for us this week as we arrive in our study at the impressive and prophetic book of Isaiah. "Of all the books in the OT, Isaiah is perhaps the richest. Its literary grandeur is unequaled. Its scope is unparalleled. The breadth of its view of God is unmatched. In so many ways it is a book of superlatives. Thus it is no wonder that Isaiah is the most quoted prophet in the NT, and along with Psalms and Deuteronomy, one of the most frequently cited of all OT books. Study of it is an opportunity for unending inspiration and challenge" (Oswald, 3).

To help us get our minds around this massive and important section of Scripture we welcome to the podcast Dr. Jim Harmeling. Dr. Harmeling and his wife, Jacqui, moved to Singapore in 2018 as missionaries to train pastors in Asia in expository preaching and church leadership. Together they serve under Shepherds International based in North Carolina. They have five grown children living in the United States.
