Isaiah 1:1, 10-20,
The Old Testament Readings: Weekly Comments on the Revised Common
Lectionary, Howard Wallace Audrey Schindler, Morag Logan, Paul Tonson, Lorraine Parkinson, Theological Hall of the Uniting Church,
Melbourne, Australia.
 | "The Lord’s
gracious offer of life, even in the face of his people’s disloyalty,
is the surprise element. But no view of this offer should ever be
taken that lessens the requirement of reorientation on Israel’s
part. There is no cheap grace, either for God’s people, or for God." |

Battle, The Christian Century, 2001.

| "Instead of perpetuating a world of
violence, Isaiah proposes a vision that demands a reality that requires
peacemaking: doing good, seeking justice, rescuing the oppressed,
defending the orphan and pleading for the widow." |

conversation regarding Progressive Christianity."
|
"When some cosmic bottom-line is measured, it won't be a matter of
how much blood is spilt - but how much evil was avoided and how much
good was initiated." |
|
| "Commentary
on Isaiah 1:1, 10-21: Tenth Sunday After Pentecost (Year C),"
Dennis Bratcher, Christian Resource Institute.
| "The danger raised by
an exclusive emphasis on grace alone, as important as that might be in
some contexts, is the danger of lapsing into the same kind of attitude
that characterized Isaiah’s day; that religion itself is a guarantee
of right relationship with God." |
|
| "Commentary
on Isaiah 1:10-18: 22nd Sunday After Pentecost (Year C),"
Dennis Bratcher, Christian Resource Institute.
| "People who have
experienced the grace of God cannot continue to cheat and steal from
others, nor can they turn a deaf ear to the cries for help from those
who cannot help themselves. Grace experienced must be grace lived." |

Tale of Two Cities: Isaiah and Worship," James T. Dennison Jr.,
in Kerux: The Online Journal of Biblical Theology (Reformed)
| "A city intended as the jewel of
justice–the ruby of righteousness–a city set on a hill; Jerusalem is a
harlot, unfaithful, treacherous, a city of rebels, a citadel of iniquity." |

Jerusalem, Jerusalem,' The Holy City," Peter Walker, Sojourners,
September/October 2000.
| "Belief in the city's holiness
has sometimes been used to legitimate unholy action." |
