A Dialogic Reimagining of a Servant's Suffering: Understanding Second Isaiah's Servant of Yahweh as a Polyphonic HeroDavid.Williams@murdoch.edu.au, David Wyn Williams January 2007 (has links)
A definitive identification of the Servant figure of Second Isaiah is notoriously difficult, as attested by centuries of conjecture and debate. The interpretive obstacles are profuse: the Servant is addressed as Israel-Jacob, but then spoken of in terms that are not consistent with the nations experience; in some texts he seems to represent a community, while in others he speaks as an individual; he seems to suffer extreme hardship and persecution, but then is said to experience new life; some of his experiences appear to be historical, while others are best described as idealistic. Further hampering objective interpretations are the pervasive traditional approaches among Christian and Jewish readers, which associate the Servant, equally emphatically, with Jesus or Israel.
But a primary reason the Servant is so difficult to pin down is rarely considered, and that is that there exists no objective image of the Servant anywhere in Second Isaiah. As a literary character he is constituted entirely by dialogue; that is, by discourse addressed to him, spoken by him, and spoken about him by others in the form of a confession. His actions are never described, and his person is never defined. Scholars have referred to this as his fluid nature, but have lacked the methodological tools for a fuller study of this literary curiosity.
The ideas of literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin speak to this type of characterisation. His polyphonic hero is a fictional character who is constituted by what is spoken to him or her, by what they overhear said concerning them, and by how they make that discourse, and the discourse of the wider world, an aspect of their own self-knowledge. They become known only by the discourse that converges on them, much as the Servant of Second Isaiah is constituted. This thesis develops a reading strategy based on Bakhtins theory of the polyphonic hero, as well as his broader theories of dialogism. It reimagines the inner discourse of the Servant in order to comprehend him according to the dialogue by which he knows himself, and not according to conventional reading strategies that seek for a fixed, opaque image. In the process it discovers that there are not multiple Servants, which is often posited as a solution to the problem of his fluid nature, but one Servant, Israel-Jacob, whose self-knowledge as the faithful Servant of Yahweh calls empirical Israel to faith in a time of national distress. It concludes that the Servant is present in the collection of Second Isaiah as a voice-idea, the embodiment of a theologically critical position that calls many of Israels theological and ideological presuppositions into question, in order to liberate her for a renewed history as a faithful witness to Yahweh her redeemer.

Služba ve světle biblických textů a ve světle teologie / Service in the light of the biblical texts and in light of TheologyŽÁKOVÁ, Zdislava January 2019 (has links)
Main aim of this thesis is to find out and refer to the importance of service as it is proclaimed in the Old and New Testament and how was the concept of service changing in time. First part deals with definitions of service and its meaning in four texts of the Book of Isaiah. Second part studies the importance of service in the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles and Epistles. The thesis describes Christ, who was dedicated to service, and his Mother Mary, the Servant of God. Some of the parables in New Testament also deals with service. It introduces three saint women of last millenium and their attitude, by which they followed Christ.

Rupture d'alliance : une sortie d'impasse selon le Deutéro-Ésaïe (És 52,13 - 53,12) / Covenant breaking : a way out of the dead-end according to the Deutero-Isaiah (ls 52,13 - 53,12)Mourlam, Claude 25 September 2015 (has links)
Au début de l’Exil babylonien, les prophètes expliquent la correction infligée par Nabuchodonosor au peuple de Juda comme un châtiment voulu par YHWH. Leur vocabulaire se fait alors riche en termes techniques de la rupture d’alliance. La 1° partie de ce travail présente une brève synthèse de l’histoire de la recherche sur la théologie de l’alliance et son lien avec des traités de vassalité du Proche-Orient ancien. La 2° partie étudie le voc. de la rupture de l’alliance en Jr, Éz mais aussi dans le Dt- És afin de spécifier son usage à la fin de l’Exil. La 3° partie s’arrête sur la section d’És 52,13 - 53,12 et son paradoxe : 2 verbes hébreux de la rupture d’alliance au service d’un message d’espérance. L’étude linguistique et sémantique de ce passage révèle une notion de fin explicite de rupture d’alliance. Dans la conclusion, la sortie d’impasse théologique est suivie jusqu’à la découverte d’un lien théologique entre les trois derniers chap. du Dt-És : le concept d’alliance éternelle. / The prophets see the Babylonian Exile as a punishment of God. Therefore, they use a rich variety of technical terms to describe the Covenant breaking. The 1st part of this work summarizes the history of research on the Alliance Theology in relation to the ancient Near Eastern vassal treaties. The 2nd part analyzes the words used to express the Covenant breaking in Jer and Ez. It carries on with this study in Dt-Isa as well, in order to tackle the problems posed by the use of the same words for a different purpose at the end of the Exile. Then, the 3rd part focuses on Isa 52:13 –53:12 and its inside paradox : whereas it shows 2 Hebrew verbs typical for the Covenant breaking, its core message speaks of a hopeful future. Through close linguistic and semantic scrutiny, this bright expectation reveals itself as the explicit end of the breaking of the Covenant. The conclusion of the work expounds the new theological idea which provides a way out of this theological dead-end (eternal Alliance).

Challenging messianism and apocalyptism : a study of the three surviving Messiahs, their related commonalities, problematic issues and the beliefs surrounding themKrawitz, Lilian 11 1900 (has links)
The thesis is concerned with two issues, modern messiahs and their appeal, namely the highly successful Rebbe M.M. Schneerson from Chabad; and hostile, modern day, militant messianists and their beliefs, namely the USA Christian evangelicals and their rapture belief. The study directs attention at the three successful (in the sense that their movements survived their deaths) Jewish Messiahs, the 1st century Jesus, the 17th century Sabbatai Sevi and the present day, but recently deceased (1994) Rebbe Schneerson. The focus in the study falls on the latter two Jewish Messiahs, especially Rebbe Schneerson and Chabad, from Crown Heights, New York, whose messianic beliefs and conduct the thesis has been able to follow in real time. The thesis argues that Rebbe Schneerson and Chabad‟s extreme messianic beliefs and praxis, and the marked similarities that exist between all three Jewish Messiahs and their followers indicate that Chabad will probably, over time, become another religion removed from Judaism.
The thesis notes that the three Jewish Messiahs share a similar messiah template, the “„suffering servant‟ messiah” template. The thesis argues that this template is related to the wide appeal and success of these three Jewish messiahs, as it offers their followers the option of vicarious atonement which relieves people from dealing with their own transgressions and permits people to evade the demanding task of assuming personal accountability for all their actions, including their transgressions.
The recommendations in this thesis are prompted by the “wall of deafening silence” which is the result of political correctness and the “hands off religion” position, that prevents debate or censure of hostile militant messianism, despite the inherent dangers and high cost attached to the praxis of hostile, militant messianism and militant messianists‟ belief in exclusive apocalyptic scenarios, in modern, multicultural and democratic societies. The thesis argues this situation is not tenable and that it needs to be addressed, especially where modern day, hostile, militant messianists, unlike their predecessors at Qumran, now have access to the military and to military hardware, including nuclear warheads, and are able to hasten the End Times should they simply choose to do so. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / D.
