Greetings:
Phillip Sigal's The Emergence of Contemporary Judaism. Vol One: The
Foundations of Judaism Part One (Pickwick Press, 1980, paper) addresses
this.  I think he mentions it first on page xxi.  The writer of Genesis,
argues Sigal, uses the 'binding of Isaac', the akedah, to lay out Judaic
theological's two concepts: 'vicarious atonement and the suffering of the
righteous, both impentrable mysteries, both applied to Israel and both
illustrated by the servant Yhwh.'

hope this helps

Subject: [Corpus-Paul] Question on Jewish traditions/suffering



Greetings in Jesus' precious name!

I am interested in Paul's indebtedness to Jewish traditions when it comes
to his understanding of suffering, especially the "interrelationship"
between suffering, judgment and righteousness. I wonder whether anyone can
help in this area. And are there introductory materials (books, articles,
etc) on the Jews' understanding of suffering in the second Temple period?

Many thanks!
