Searching for the Messiah Wilson Barrie
Over the centuries, people have longed for a messiah, whether a religious figure such as Jesus, a political leader, or even in popular culture. Wilson turns to a little understood pre-Christian text, The Psalms of Solomon, which set the stage for messianic expectation just prior to the birth of Jesus.Known today only to a handful of scholars--in marked contrast to the "Song of Solomon"--this apocryphal text was composted not by a King, but by a devout 1st century b.c.e. The messianic quest emerges most acutely during difficult times when people experience a sense of powerlessness and desperation.But the concept of a messiah--a savior--has its root in the writings of ancient Judaism and early Christianity, evolving from an anointed leader to universal savior.
As Wilson parses the text and its subsequent Jew who witnessed terrible atrocities under brutal Roman rule.
