The Fifty-third Chapter of Isaiah According to the Jewish Interpreters; Volume 2

More about the book

This book is an analysis of Jewish interpretations of Isaiah 53, a chapter in the Hebrew Bible that has been interpreted in Christian tradition as a prophecy of Christ's suffering and death. Neubauer and Driver explore a range of medieval Jewish commentaries on the chapter, arguing that the Jewish interpretation is fundamentally different from the Christian interpretation and reflects a different understanding of the nature and purpose of prophecy.
