Book Overview

The Messianic Hope In The New Testament is a book written by Shailer Mathews that explores the concept of the Messiah in the New Testament. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on the historical and cultural context of the Messianic hope in ancient Judaism, while the second part examines the New Testament texts that deal with the Messiah.Mathews argues that the Messianic hope was a central theme in ancient Judaism and that it played a crucial role in the development of the New Testament. He explores the various ways in which the Messiah was understood in ancient Jewish literature and how these ideas were incorporated into the New Testament.The book also examines the different ways in which the Messiah is portrayed in the New Testament, including as a suffering servant, a political leader, and a divine figure. Mathews argues that these different portrayals reflect the diversity of early Christian beliefs about the Messiah.Overall, The Messianic Hope In The New Testament provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the Messianic hope in both ancient Judaism and the New Testament.
