It is a story of a just and sovereign God—and a righteous suffering servant who foreshadows \u003cem\u003ethe \u003c\/em\u003eSuffering Servant of perfect holiness. In this lively commentary, Douglas Sean O’Donnell demystifies a sometimes intimidating task as he demonstrates how to explain, illustrate, and apply biblical poetry.
