Summary:

William Horbury considers the issue of messianism as it arises in Jewish and Christian tradition. Whilst Horbury's primary focus is the Herodian period and the New Testament, he presents a broader historical trajectory. As well as treating central themes such as messianism in the Apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, the Son of man and Pauline hopes for a new Jerusalem, neglected topics are also given due consideration, including suffering and messianism in synagogue poetry. This new cornerstones edition of Horbury's classic collection features a new extended introduction which updates and resituates the volume within the context of current scholarship. Book jacket.
