Religion of the Prophets: The Message of Isaiah, Part 1, 1952 June 15
In the third sermon on the prophets, Thurman explores the visions of Isaiah. Thurman describes Isaiah's first vision as encompassing "the total meaning of human existence." It is an experience of both illumination and vocation. The vision says something about the world and what he must do in it. The second vision is a utopian vision, seeing into a time when the world will be whole. Thurman describes this as a time without fear. In our current world, human creativity is the source of our fear. But in Isaiah's vision, humans no longer study war and instead use their creativity for nourishing life. Do we believe that a time like this will come? And if so, how do we live into it today?
