Isaiah

Episode 2 of 5

Clive Lawton profiles Isaiah, the supreme literary prophet - or possibly prophets. There is a dispute about whether Isaiah is one, two or even three distinct personalities.

In the second of his series of off-beat Biblical portraits, Clive Lawton profiles Isaiah, the supreme literary prophet or, possibly, prophets. There is a dispute about whether Isaiah is one, two or even three distinct personalities as his story covers several different epochs. His words reverberate around the world, not least as having been taken up so solidly by Christians as prophecies of the coming of Jesus as the Messiah. How would we relate to such mythical figures if they were still around today and how relevant are their thoughts and ideas in a modern context?
Producer: Mark Savage.
