Charged with the Glory of God : Yahweh, the Servant, and the Earth in Isaiah 40-55
Outline : Isaiah's Servant Songs reveal a true and better Adam. In Charged with the Glory of God, Caroline Batchelder provides a synchronic, theological, and canonical reading of Isaiah's four Servant Songs, offering fresh insights for understanding God's true image and its idolatrous counterfeits. Isaiah reveals a coherent message when it is read as a compositional unity in its Old Testament context. While idolatrous Israel images God imperfectly, God's image is embodied ideally in Isaiah's mysterious Servant figure. For those who wish to recapture God's good purposes for humanity, the Servant provides the perfect paradigm. The Servant summons readers to reorient themselves toward God and his creation and presents the map and the means for doing so.
