Israel’s Messianic Hope to the Time of Jesus

Israel’s Messianic Hope to the Time of Jesus, while written primarily for the beginner, is a fine piece of scholarly work. The primary messianic passages are produced in full, with introductions and commentary. Each chapter contains a list of complementary topics, and the book also includes a bibliography of messianic prophecies. The book discusses the messianic hope in various biblical ages, such as before Moses, during the time of the prophets, and during and after the exile. Messianic prophecy in the history of the Jewish and Christian religion is not simply tacked on to serve as proof of the divinity of Christ. Instead, it is the very essence and life of the Old Testament.
