bullet "The Servant: Responding to Violence," Fredrick C. Holmgren, Currents in Theology and Mission, 2004.
bullet"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."
bullet "Minjung and Power: A Biblical and Theological Perspective on Doularchy (Servanthood)," Yong-Bok Kim, The Christian Century, 1987.
bullet"The reign of DOULOS in OIKOS TOU THEOU is the conclusive theme in the Bible."
