Tomorrow I'm preaching an overview of Isaiah, shamelessly pilfered from Barry Webb's commentary in the BST series. I don't mind stealing ideas, as every single thought that I've ever had comes from someone else and if it didn't, I would be forced to stop thinking. I don't do 'original'.
But I do feel vaguely embarrassed about doing an overview of Isaiah without having read it in recent times. And if Fifi can read the whole of Harry Plotter tonight, then I can manage Isaiah. Isaiah has 66 chapters and in my Bible only goes for 76 pages, a lot of which is poetry. Which I reckon is just a way of fooling people into thinking that you have a fatter book than you actually do.
So ask me tomorrow if I managed. Tour de France will be on the telly in the background.

So did you accomplish the feat?
One of the best tips for exegesis I ever picked up was to read a whole work through in one go. I once read Luke-Acts that way, it was great. I suspect Luke churned out more words than all of the Isaiahs put together.
Sounds like Fiona finished HP, how did you go with Isaiah?
Hey nixter,
fifi finished HP, and I am reading it now. She got sick too! Could this have to do with weakened resistance due to staying up until 3 reading??
Actually that's not how germs work. So I'm glad she had something nice to read while she was starting to get flu-ey.
Yeah I pulled a late one (for me) but I had to get through it.. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! Enjoy it - I am sure you will, I did!
Don't get sick too though....
So God sent Harry Potter to rebuke the preacher of Isaiah. It cant be evil afterall!
