Messianism in the Synoptic Gospels (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The concept of Messianism in the Synoptic Tradition cannot be fully appreciated without first situating it within its broader historical and religious context. Messianism, as it emerged in Second Temple Judaism, was neither a static idea nor a single, uniform belief. Instead, it evolved through centuries of socio-political upheaval, scriptural interpretation, and eschatological hope. This book delves into the complex historical background that shaped the Messianic expectations present during the time of Jesus, tracing their origins, developments, and manifestations.

The historical context of Messianism in the Synoptic Tradition is a mosaic of prophetic promises, apocalyptic visions, and political aspirations. The Synoptic Gospels engage with this context not by rejecting it wholesale but by reconfiguring its elements around the person of Jesus. This reconfiguration, which includes the paradox of a crucified Messiah, challenges conventional notions of power and glory, inviting readers to consider a Messianic identity rooted in humility, suffering, and ultimate triumph through resurrection.
