The Prophetic Faith (Classic Reprint)

By Martin Buber and Martin Buher

Book Overview

Excerpt from The Prophetic Faith

In the second part one chapter leads us beyond the figures of the prophets: in the struggle for the revelation we can see traces of the influence of their teaching in its primitive form in the didactic story about the primeval world. And one chapter in the third part too leads us beyond prophecy: this describes how the question, that is the question of the suffering com munity about the meaning of its suffering, absorbs within itself the teaching of the prophets, and how it finds its most personal ex pression in the didactic song and the psalm.

With regard to the use of Scriptural passages in the first and the second part we must make certain methodological observa tions.

Servant of YHVH explained

As a born and raised Christian I was taught that the songs of the Servant of YHVH in Isaiah were all about Jesus, but for many years I have believed that this servant is a composite figure. Buber explains that this is well known in Judaism and goes into it in detail, including his own inspired take on it.
