This study explores eight visions and two songs of peace from the book of Isaiah, which were written to encourage the Jewish community living in exile and persecution. Isaiah employs messages of peace to move the community forward from despair to hope, from desolation to restoration, from ruin to rebuilding. By taking these same messages seriously, perhaps we can be moved to do those things that will bring a larger sense of peace into our lives and our world.
