Identities in Transition
The Pursuit of Isa. 52:13-53:12
Series: - Vetus Testamentum, Supplements, Volume: 142
Author:
Isa. 52:13-53:12 has occupied a special position within Jewish and Christian traditions, as well as within biblical scholarship. This book focuses particularly on different ways of reading this text. Historical-critical readings in the tradition after Bernhard Duhm are challenged. In Duhmian readings of Isa. 52:13-53:12, Gottesknecht has become a technical term, Ebed-Jahwe-Lied a genre, Stellvertretung an established theological concept and âservant song researchâ a separate discipline within biblical scholarship. After a critical presentation of the Duhmian readings, three other ways of reading Isa. 52:13-53:12 based on variations of linguistic theory are presented: one linguistic, one narratological and one intertextual. These show in different manners how the text is unstable, heterogeneous and composite. In these readings, the trope of personification is central.
Kristin Joachimsen, Dr. theol. (2007) in Biblical Studies, University of Oslo, is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at theUniversity of Tromsø.
