"This is a very significant, original, and daring book. It
illuminates an important era in the history of the Jewish people as
well as the background of Christianity, making full use of the new
Qumran material."--Professor Emanuel Tov, Editor-in-Chief, Dead Sea
Scrolls Publication Project
"The importance of this thesis for the understanding and
interpretation of the historical Jesus is something of which all
students of Christian Origins should take careful note. The book
places a square challenge before those persuaded by a less
apocalyptic/messianc view of the man and his times. I am convinced
this book will become a pioneering classic in terms of the slot it
fills in the field."--James D. Tabor, author of "Why Waco?
"This is a work of very high quality. . . . Knohl convincingly
points out the historical event of a Messiah who predated the more
famous one, Jesus Christ. . . . This is one of the most fascinating
findings regarding the history of Jewish Messianism and the
understanding of the emergence of Christianity. . . I am confident
that it will mark a new phase in research of ancient
Judaism."--Moshe Idel, author of "Messianic Mystics
"This tiny book will turn many heads. Israel Knohl sifts through
a vast range of ancient texts in order to weave together a new
chapter in the story of Jewish Messianism."--Gary A. Anderson,
Professor of Hebrew Bible, Harvard University
"Israel Knohl established himself as a first-rate scholar with
his first book, "The Sanctuary of Silence, on a classic problem of
Pentateuchal studies. Here he ventures into entirely different
territory and displays impressive erudition not only in the Dead
Sea Scrolls and the Talmud but also in classicalantiquity. His bold
and provocative theories are sure to elicit a storm of
controversy."--John J. Collins, author of "Between Athens and
Jerusalem: Jewish Identity in the Hellenistic Diaspora and Jewish
Wisdom in Helleniatic Age
"Fascinating. . . .Knohl's book is an original piece of research
that defies some of the most solid beliefs of our time."--Avraham
Burg, Chairman of the Keneset (Israeli Parliament).
