Isaiah, Christ, and the Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur (week of Oct. 3, third to listen to)

In this shortcast Kerry discusses how our Isaiah reading coincides with the celebration of Yom Kippur. He shows briefly how Isaiah 58, a traditional reading for the Day of Atonement), fits into the Day of Atonement. He spends more time on Isaiah 61 and the verses Christ read in the synagogue at Nazareth, and how Isaiah and Christ were drawing on the imagery of the Jubilee Year and the Day of Atonement, and what that has to do with us.
