Seeing God and Reimagining Trauma
Lectionary Date: February 6, 2022 [5th Sunday after Epiphany, Year C]
This week, we’re grateful to have Dr. Ethan Schwartz with us to look at Isaiah’s prophetic call. Dr. Schwartz is Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible at Villanova University. His research focuses on the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible, so today’s passage is right in his wheelhouse. Ethan loves to bring biblical studies into productive conversation with contemporary religious life, in synagogues, institutes, and churches. If you’re interested in more of his work, find him on the “Politics of Scripture” blog at politicaltheology.com. Ethan’s career has reached a new high today in being the first guest scholar to appear twice on First Reading!
