The coming of the Messiah the promise of redemption is perhaps Judaism's greatest gift 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. The Messiah and the Jews 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. Truly unmatched in its range, scholarship and insight and unique in its accessibility and engaging style The Messiah and the Jews will capture the attention of interested people of every background and level of knowledge seeking wisdom, wonder and above all hope.
