The grammar of Messianism. 520 $a "This book is a scholarly treatment of messianism in ancient Judaism and Christianity. In particular, and in contrast to other recent treatments, it is a study of what we might call the grammar of messianism, that is, the patterns of language inherited from the Hebrew Bible that all ancient messiah texts, Jewish and Christian, use. It makes the point that all ancient messiah texts are creative efforts at negotiating a shared set of linguistic possibilities and limitations inherited from the Hebrew Bible. The distinguishing features of the book are several: First, breaking with an ideologically loaded tradition, it incorporates both Jewish and Christian texts as evidence for this discursive practice. Second, rather than drawing up a taxonomy of types of ancient messiah figures, it analyzes a range of other more specific issues raised by the texts themselves. Third, it cuts the Gordian knot of the longstanding question of the prominence of messianism in antiquity, suggesting that that question is ultimately unanswerable but also entirely unnecessary for an understanding of the pertinent texts"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Jesus Christ $x Messiahship. 600 07 $a Jesus Christ. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00040116 650 0 $a Messianism. 650 0 $a Messiah $x Judaism. 650 0 $a Christianity and other religions $x Judaism. 650 0 $a Judaism $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 7 $a Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859599 650 7 $a Interfaith relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353343 650 7 $a Judaism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984280 650 7 $a Messiah $x Judaism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01017426 650 7 $a Messiahship of Jesus Christ. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353693 650 7 $a Messianism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01017438 776 08 $i Online version: $a Novenson, Matthew V. $t Grammar of messianism. $d New York : Oxford University Press, [2016] $z 9780190255039 $w (DLC) 2016035306 941 $a 2 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214014905.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210025326.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=83910CB8F83511E784964A6B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
