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 the four Servant Songs in
Isaiah (42:1–9; 49:1–13; 50:3–11; 52:13–53:12), showing how
they relate to one another and the message of the prophetic book.
Reading Isaiah as a compositional unity in conversation with other
texts such as Genesis results in a coherent presentation of the
mysterious servant. The polemic against idolatry reveals rebellious
Israel to be false imagers of God. In contrast, Isaiah's servant is
an ideal embodiment of Yahweh's image and likeness. Thus, the
servant is a paradigm for those who wish to recapture and realize
God's good creation purposes for all humanity. The servant poems
are not only a call to reorient oneself as a servant towards God
and his creation, but also a map and means for doing so. In this
study, Batchelder offers fresh insights from Isaiah for
understanding God's true image and its idolatrous counterfeits.
