1. Read Isaiah 1-11. 28-32. Is Isaiah a central or a peripheral prophet?
Do you see any evidence for Isaiah's social position.
2. Isaiah 5 is called 'The Song of the Vineyard." Show in detail
what it means.
3. Isaiah 6 is the call of the prophet. How is it similar and different
from other calls we have seen?
4. In Isaiah 7:3-4, 9, 11, 10:20-23 the prophet speaks of unusual births
and the name of his son. What is the significance of these oracles? How
are they like/unlike other prophetic oracles we have seen?
5. Isaiah 2:2 is closely paralleled by Micah 4. Who really said it? Can
you give an alternative explanation for how the passage was attributed
to two different prophets? How does the content of the oracle and its
use of words affect your answer?
