Reading Isaiah in Asia
View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses four areas of interaction between the book of Isaiah and the author’s context as a Chinese Singaporean woman. First, the Asian emphasis on the family underscores the fatherhood of God in Isaiah, while Isaiah’s depiction of God’s fatherly grace is a model for the Asian family. Secondly, Isaiah’s maternal imagery of God provides a corrective to Confucian patriarchy in a complementary rather than combative way. Thirdly, Isaiah’s favorite title for God as “the Holy One” fits in with Asia’s religious context, but the relational aspect of the Holy One “of Israel” reveals the personal nature of the Divine. Fourthly, Isaiah’s monotheistic faith challenges Singapore’s pluralistic society, but the universal message of the Suffering Servant crosses boundaries for the good of all.
