The Jewish Tradition of Two Messiahs ( Discovery Series Booklet)

The anticipation of national deliverance through a person anointed by God has been a theme of Judaism throughout the ages.

In a culture that so often claims Judeo-Christian roots, there is often a curiousity—even a fascination—with "things Jewish."  The Jewish people had thousands of years of history with God, a relationship that formed the foundation upon which the New Testament was introduced to the world.  As we read the Bible, we can't help but encounter Jewish places, names and traditions.  In this booklet, we explore on those traditions—the Jewish expectation of two Messiahs.  It's our prayer that this examination will help us find similarities, and differences, that challenge both cultures toward a more open dialogue around the timeless wisdom of the Scriptures.
