This study brings together the hermeneutical approaches of three
Old Testament scholars, specifically as they pertain to the
interpretation of Isaiah 52.13-53.12 in the framework of Christian
theology. Contemporary discourse and hermeneutical discussions have
led to the development of a point of confusion in theological
hermeneutics, focusing on what relationship older frames of
reference may have with those more recent. Bernhard Duhm is
presented as a history-of-Religion scholar who does not easily
abide by popular understandings of that school. Brevard Childs
moves outward from particular historical judgments regarding the
nature of redaction and form criticism, attempting to arrive at a
proximately theological reading of the poem. Alec Motyer's
evangelical commitments represent a large constituency of
contemporary theological readership, and a popular understanding of
Isaiah 53. Following a summary and critical engagement of each
interpreter on his own terms, the study analyzes the use of
rhetoric behind the respective readings of Isaiah 53, and proposes
theological reading as a highly eclectic undertaking, distanced
from the demarcations of 'pre-critical', 'critical', and
'post-critical'.
