Condition: New

Isaiah's servant songs, found in chapters 42-53, have been among the most controversial passages debated by Old Testament scholars for over a century. The authorship of these passages, their content and context, have sparked intense discussion and speculation. Most of all, the identity of the servant who is Isaiah's subject has raised questions for Bible scholars. F. Duane Lindsey presents and introduction to the issues, problems, and available literature relating to the servant songs. This collection of articles, previously published in Biblitheca Sacra, represents a technical commentary written out of the conviction that the Lord Jesus Christ is indeed the servant to whom the songs refer. Lindsey examines New Testament allusions to the servant and Isaiah's prophecy, as well as the development of various views throughout Christian history. Explore the messianic truths found in Isaiah's songs and their theological, historical and personal.
