Isaiah's Servants in Early Judaism and Christianity

Frühe jüdische und christliche Gemeinschaften definierten ihre Identität, indem sie sich in der Geschichte verorteten, die in den Schriften Israels erzählt wird. Der vorliegende Band fördert neue Einsichten in die Dynamik dieses Prozesses zutage, indem er frühe Interpretationen von Jesajas »Knechten« untersucht.Michael A.
