An analysis of Isaiah 62:6–7 – A psychology of religion approach

Abstract

This article argues that prayer does not only offer hope of restoration in the future but also presents a restoration of the supplicants. Isaiah 62:6–7 will be presented as a case study. The psychology of religion will be used as the methodology to achieve this goal: present restoration of the prayers in Isaiah 62:6–7. Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article combines exegetical insights from biblical studies and psychology of religion.
