For theologians and students of Scripture seeking depth

Clarifies how Isaiah informs Paul's teachings and identity

You will gain fresh insights into Old Testament readings

Discover how Isaiah shapes Paul's theology in this insightful book.

"Paul and Isaiah's Servants" offers a fresh understanding of the ways in which Isaiah's canonical voice constrained and informed Paul's understanding of himself and Christ's unique identity. It argues that a theological approach to understanding Paul's appeal to and reading of the Old Testament, especially Isaiah, offers important insights into the ways in which Christians should read the Old Testament and a two-testament canon today. Gignilliat explores the ways in which Isaiah 40-66's canonical form presents the gospel in miniature with its movement from Israel to Servant to servants. He argues that Paul follows this literary movement in his own theological reflection in 2 Corinthians 5:14-6:10. The conclusion in the final chapters is that Paul is reading the Old Testament in such a way that the literal sense and its figural potential are not divorced but are actually organically linked in what can be termed a plain sense reading.
