C209 Epiphany 5

Robyn is joined by Adrian Jackson to talk about the way God appears in Isaiah 6:1-8 (9-13), Luke 5:1-11, and 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. These texts contrast holiness and sinfulness, poverty and abundance, and grace and unworthiness in interesting ways.  

We refer to temple reliefs and the way the Isaiah 6 text might be a political satire of Assyrian temple imagery. You can find an example of such a relief here- https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1849-0502-15  (note the posture of the attendants)
