CBS Recommends—An Advent Retreat: Isaiah 40-55


A Voice Cries Out: Isaiah 40‐55 in the Days of Advent

Saturday, December 4, 9:00 a.m.—3:00 p.m. and
Sunday, December 5, 1:00—3:00 p.m.

All are welcome to explore Second Isaiah, the section of the book of the prophet Isaiah that is the source of some of the most beloved sections of the Old Testament.  In these weekend sessions we'll read selected portions, describe their original setting, and discuss the main metaphors through which Isaiah announces God’s assurance that the exiles will return home. We'll consider the use of this book in the liturgy of Advent and its meaning for us today who, though perhaps not exiles from our homeland, nevertheless struggle with the spiritual and emotional exile that is part of every human life.
