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."
