Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Servant of Jehovah: A Commentary, Grammatical and Critical, Upon Isaiah LII. 13 LIII. 12 Confronting the traditional and unsophisticated belief of Christendom down to the present century, we have now-a-days the assertions confidently made by scholars, Jewish and Christian, not a few, that the prophecy so called of Isaiah xl.-lxvi. was not written till more than a century after the great Isaiah was dead; that it is not a prophecy, but a picture by a contemporary of the sorrows and hopes of the exile; that the Servant of Jehovah in chapter liii. does not mean the Messiah at all; and, in a word, that the Old Testament knows nothing of a suffering Messiah. These views, indeed, are by some persons regarded as matters of fact that have passed out of the region of controversy, and that are to be taken for granted as true; and they look upon it as a sign of sheer ignorance to hold any other. Nothing, it must be allowed, is easier than to adopt these views, - to talk of the supposed Exile author as himself Abd-Adonai, "the Servant of Jehovah," to place his prophecy and the Books of Wisdom side by side as equal to anything in previous Jewish literature, and to represent sacrifice as a relic of barbarism giving way to the doctrine of prayer, which in turn may have to give way to the law of invariable sequence. There is much to tempt the ambitious student to embrace these views; they are broad, they are fashionable, they are a sign of culture.
