Belief in the coming of a Messiah poses a genuine dilemma. From a
Jewish perspective, the historical record is overwhelmingly against
it. If, despite all the tragedies that have befallen the Jewish
people, no legitimate Messiah has come forward, has the belief not
been shown to be groundless? Yet for all the problems associated
with messianism, the historical record also shows it is an idea
with enormous staying power. The prayer book mentions it on page
after page. The great Jewish philosophers all wrote about it.
Secular thinkers in the twentieth century returned to it and
reformulated it. And victims of the Holocaust invoked it in the
last few minutes of their life. This book examines the staying
power of messianism and formulates it in a way that retains its
redemptive force without succumbing to mythology.
