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
