In this episode of The Word Made Human, we turn our attention to the Book of Isaiah—not as divine revelation, but as a powerful work of human literature born from crisis, hope, and moral imagination. Written across generations by multiple authors, Isaiah offers a stunning tapestry of protest, poetry, and radical vision. From its scathing indictments of injustice to its soaring visions of equality and inclusion, Isaiah shows us what happens when ordinary people raise their voices to demand a better world.

Join us as we explore how this prophetic text speaks not of God’s judgment but of human struggle, resilience, and our timeless longing for justice. We’ll unpack its historical layers, highlight its enduring relevance, and call out the parts that deserve to be discarded. This isn’t about salvaging scripture—it’s about reclaiming ancient voices that still challenge us to live ethically, love boldly, and imagine a society built on compassion, not obedience.
