In the second episode of season 3, Prof. Kathryn Schifferdecker and Katie Langston address more listener questions, including:

  • Numbers in the Bible: What is their meaning?
  • What is the best way to explain the binding of sins to an elementary Sunday school class?
  • My question is about the bible passages found in Isaiah chapter 53, verses 4-12. Who is Isaiah referring to in those passages? I always thought Isaiah was referring to our Savior Jesus Christ. However I was told at our last text study that the person Isaiah is talking about in Isaiah 53:4-12 was a servant in Israel and not referring to our Savior Jesus Christ. Can you please clarify this for me?
