Abstract:
This book traces the convergence of two biblical texts, Akedah
(Genesis 22) and the Fourth Servant Song (Isaiah 53) in early Jewish
and Christian writings. The passages share verbal and conceptual
resonances, including the suffering of a righteous individual, divine
complicity in an unjust death, unresisting compliance, notions of
cultic sacrifice, exaltation and reward. Given their intertextual
links, the two passages have been associated together in some ancient
texts, within contexts of suffering righteousness and sacrifice. This
book labels the apparent convergence of the primary texts as the Akedah Servant complex, and it develops a dialogic intertextual
approach to determine the presence of the complex in selected
passages: Stage I/ pre-70CE Jewish writings; Stage II/ New Testament;
Stage III /post-70CE (rabbinic and patristic) texts. This study
indicates that the linking of Isaiah 53 and Genesis 22 is a
long-standing tradition which resulted in shaping an early Christian
model of atonement.
