Any student of the New Testament must be conscious of the competing
expectations in ancient Jewish thought of what and who the Messiah
would be. In King and Messiah, Aage Bentzen offers a fascinating
glimpse into this topic, which preoccupied the most eminent
Scandinavian biblical scholars of the mid-twentieth century.
Beginning with the Messiah described in many of the Psalms,
representing a demythologised form of the Oriental concept of
kingship, Bentzen proceeds to the eschatological Messiah of Isaiah
and Micah. He next discusses the later, prophetic-Messianic Moses
Redivivus of Deutero-Isaiah, reaching the final stage of Old
Testament Messianic thought in the description of the Son of Man in
Daniel 7, which carries the eschatologising process still further.
Bentzen shows how all of these Old Testament types are synthesised
in the Christology of the New Testament - Jesus is the new Adam,
the present Messiah, the suffering Prophet, the new Moses and the
future Divine King - and yet simultaneously superseded. The
Christian myth adds its own adornment to the complex question of
Jesus identity.
