Did Jesus of Nazareth live and die without the teaching about the
righteous Servant of the Lord in Isaiah 53 having exerted any
significant influence on his ministry? Is it probable that this
text exerted no significant influence upon Jesus' understanding of
the plan of God to save the nations that the prophet Isaiah sets
forth? Did the use of Isaiah 53 to interpret his mission actually
begin with Jesus? Would it have been possible for Jesus to have
acted so unnaturally as to have died for the unjust without
reference to Isaiah's teaching about the Suffering Servant who
poured out his soul to death and bore the sins of many?
These are the kinds of questions that were in the minds of those
who organized a conference on "Isaiah 53 and Christian Origins" at
Baylor University in the fall of 1995. The principal papers from
that conference are now available in Jesus and the Suffering
Servant, with contributions by Moma D. Hooker, Paul D. Hanson,
Henning GrafReventlow, R. E. Clements, Otto Betz, N. T. Wright, and
others. Of particular note in these papers is the discovery that it
may have been Paul rather than Jesus who first exploited the idea
of atoning suffering in Isaiah 53.
