- "The suffering Servant in Isaiah
50:4-9, and elsewhere in Isaiah 40-55, is a commanding figure. Although it
is a legitimate scholarly task to inquire as to his identity, it should
not escape us that this Servant does not stand alone in the run of
history. This dramatic figure, though important, is but one in the
community of those who innocently endure suffering."
