Klappentext In this book, distinguished specialists in various Judaisms of late antiquity, including Christian scholars, take up the differing roles of the Messiah-idea in the various traditions examined. Dealing with the best-documented Judaic systems-the Essence community at Qumran, Christian Judaisms represented by Mark and by Matthew, the nascent rabbinic Judaism portrayed in the Mishnah, the Judaic system implicit in the writings of Philo-the authors work out how a given system treats the Messiah theme. Zusammenfassung In its approach to evidence! not harmonizing but analyzing and differentiating! this book marks a revolutionary shift in the study of ancient Judaism and Christianity.
