There Is No Messiah-and You're It

The Stunning Transformation of Judaism's Most Provocative Idea

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The coming of the messiah is anticipated by millions of people of many faiths as the ultimate salve for our spiritual lives and as a way to finally make the world a better place. There Is No Messiah?and You?re It examines the history of messianic hope and anticipation, its evolution in Judaism and Jewish history, and other interpretations of ?messiah? that shed new light on what it means to usher in the ?kingdom of God.? This fascinating book is our call to see ourselves as the fulfillment of, not the anticipators of, messianic change. Drawing from the Bible, the Talmud, rabbinic sources, and modern-day scholars, Rabbi Levine provides a fascinating understanding of messianic vision, as well as false messiahs throughout Jewish history. He challenges the powerful idea of messiah that has survived in the heart and ethos of the Jewish people, and reveals the immediacy of messianic presence in our day.
