Persistent Image of the Suffering Servant

The most comprehensive and thorough study on the historical and hermeneutical analysis of the New Testament use of the fourth Servant song, with a study of Wirkungsgeschichte! "He examines both citations and allusions, showing that the influence of Isa 53 is more widespread than just an examination of citations suggests [thus refuting Hooker and Barrett]... a solid guide to the variety of ways the early church used Isaiah 53[Christological/ethical/ministerial] as well as what the text meant in that crucial prophetic book... an important study that unlocks many doors." -Darrell L. Bock, Former President of Evangelical Theological Society "...magisterial work... Working with the biblical Hebrew and Greek texts as well as non- canonical literatures with remarkable linguistic and literary finesse, Kwak has left no stones unturned..." -Eugene H. Merrill, Distinguished Professor of OT Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary . . . . . "I am pleased to commend this work to those seeking an insightful discussion of the theological significance of this Song." -Richard A. Taylor, Director of PhD Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary. . . . *A good model to interpret prophetic books*
