The “Suffering Servant” of Isaiah

Published posthumously, this volume includes two key studies by Driver on the Psalms. The first is the article on the 'Prayer Book Version' of the Psalter which he contributed to the 'Prayer Book Dictionary.' The second is his 'The Method of Studying the Psalter,' which appeared in the 'Expositor.' To these editor Burney has added several unpublished sermons on the Psalms.'Studies in the Psalms' provides insight into Driver's popular application of the results of minute and scholarly investigation of the Old Testament.

Studies in the Psalms

The "Suffering Servant" of Isaiah

'A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in Hebrew and Some Other Syntactical Questions' is the foundation of all modern studies of the Hebrew and Semitic verb. Driver maintained that the tenses of Hebrew verbs were employed to express types of action rather than time. While not undisputed, Driver set the tone for the conversation. While modern concerns may pay closer attention to contextuality or to state and action, many continue to acknowledge Driver's original emphasis that the Hebrew tense system is not primarily concerned with time relations.

Essays in Bible, Archaeology and Patristic Criticism

Studia Biblica et Ecclesiastica, 5 Volumes

Driver intended this volume to provide insight toward the philology and textual criticism of the Old Testament. He regarded Samuel as an excellent field for training the intermediate Hebrew student in the uses of Hebrew idiom. Driver also regarded the books of Samuel as filled with transcriptional corruption, thus quite appropriate for introduction to the grounds and principles of textual criticism.
