Little Rock Scripture Study

Through a masterful mix of poetry and prose, the book of Isaiah gives prophetic witness to the complex story of God’s judgment against Israel and the enduring promise of divine redemption. Both unsettling and inspiring, Isaiah continues to enrich readers with its powerful condemnation of corruption and an uncompromising call for social justice. Part One of our study covers Isaiah 1–39, including many of the prophet’s most memorable passages. The study will continue with Isaiah, Part 2 in Spring, 2026.

This class will meet weekly September 8 - October 20 on Mondays at 9:45 am (after morning Mass) in the Hospitality Room of the DeSales Center or at 7 pm virtually via Zoom.

Materials for this study can be picked up at the Welcome Desk after Masses on August 30 and 31. 

The materials for Isaiah, Part 1 were prepared by Leslie J. Hoppe, OFM. Sessions are facilitated by Holy Infant Parishioners.

Leslie J. Hoppe, OFM, is professor emeritus of Old Testament studies at Catholic Theological Union. He is the author of several books on biblical studies and archaeology, including The Holy City: Jerusalem in the Theology of the Old Testament, and has served as general editor of The Bible Today and The Catholic Biblical Quarterly.
