1. Discuss the nature of the prophetic office in the Old Testament as preachers of the Torah and consider the need for having modern day prophets who will proclaim the truth of Scripture to the church and society today. Make sure your response provides biblical and contemporary examples of prophetic preaching?
2. Summarize the critical arguments regarding the authorship of the book of Isaiah. Make sure you choose a position and defend whether Isaiah of Jerusalem wrote the whole book or if it would be more acceptable to regard it as a composite work of various authors.
