The Messiah How did the Jews from 250 B.C.E. to 200 C.E. conceive
and express their beliefs in the coming of God's Messiah? Why did
the Jews closely associated with Jesus of Nazareth claim within ten
years of his crucifixion in 30 C.E. that he indeed was the promised
Messiah? An international team of prominent Jewish and Christian
scholars discuss these and related questions in this volume that
stems from the First Princeton Symposium on Judaism and Christian
Origins. The book focuses on the historical and theological
importance of the presence or absence of the term "Messiah" and
messianic ideas in the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, Philo,
the Apocrypha, the Pseudepigrapha, Josephus, and the Dead Sea
Scrolls. It clarifies the key issues to be discussed, illustrates
the appropriate methodology shared by international experts, and
concentrates on the perplexing questions regarding messianic
beliefs in Judaism and Christianity before the close of the New
Testament and the editing of the Mishnah. Contributors Hugh
