Religion of the Prophets: The Message of Isaiah, Part 2, 1952 June 22
God acts in the process of history. This is the primary theme in Thurman's fourth sermon on prophets. Returning to Isaiah, Thurman says that history is more than the logic of cause and effect. History is more dynamic than this. Every event is an overflowing unseen with potential. When we limit ourselves to the surface-value of events, we undermine our own hope and security. In Isaiah, Thurman sees the prophet relating to God rather than the events of the world. Even in misfortune, God is in charge. Isaiah ends with the idea that God is invested in the human project, and will never give up; there will always be a remnant of God's people that begin a new age, and continue to urge human destiny towards the good.
