A comprehensive, inspiring and fascinating discovery of what Jews believe about the Messiah―and why you might believe in the Messiah, too.
"The conviction that the Messiah is coming is a promise of meaning. It is a source of consolation. It is a wellspring of creativity. It is a reconciliation between what is and what should be. And it is perhaps our most powerful statement of faith―in God, in humanity and in ourselves."
―from Chapter 1, "The Messiah Is Coming!"
The coming of the Messiah―the promise of redemption―is among Judaism's gifts to the world. But it is a gift about which the world knows so little. It has been overshadowed by Christian belief and teaching, and as a result its Jewish significance has been all but lost. To further complicate matters, Jewish messianic teaching is enthralling, compelling, challenging, exhilarating―yet, up until now, woefully inaccessible. This book will change that.
Rabbi Elaine Rose Glickman brings together, and to life, this three-thousand-year-old tradition as never before. Rather than simply reviewing the vast body of Jewish messianic literature, she explores an astonishing range of primary and secondary sources, explaining in an informative yet inspirational way these teachings' significance for Jews of the past―and infuses them with new meaning for the modern reader, both Jewish and non-Jewish.
