Description: David Wyn Williams presents a literary re-imagining of the Suffering Servant of Second Isaiah through the lens of the work of Mikhail Bakhtin. He offers insight into how the servant's prophetic characterisation dismantled an exiled nation's ideologies of suffering and called the people to understand their plight as part of a redemptive story on behalf of the nations.

The first half of this volume closely examines the scriptural servant, the second half is given wholly to the experiences and thoughts of a contemporary 'suffering servant' whom Williams interviewed throughout his final days. A dialogue is set up between the two, raising important questions around our corporate and individual responses to suffering.

This book is a timely reflection on how a prophetic figure who features in but a handful of poems inspired the nation to endure and rewrite its own narrative of suffering. The servant's example in the midst of today's uncertainties could not be more poignant.
