453 - Seraphim Hamilton - Isaiah: The Fifth Gospel

I’m joined again by Seraphim Hamilton to discuss his upcoming Symbolic World course on Isaiah, beginning June 15th. We talk about why Isaiah is central for understanding Christ in the Old Testament, the relationship between prophecy, exile, the suffering servant, the gentile nations, and the deep symbolic unity between Scripture, liturgy, and creation.<br /><br />Join Seraphim Hamilton in studying the Book of Isaiah this June.
