{"product_id":"9780802878182","title":"Warrior, King, Servant, Savior","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn exegetical and diachronic survey of messianic texts from  the Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition up through the first millennium  CE.   Jewish messianism can be traced back to the emerging  Kingdom of Judah in the tenth century BCE, when it was represented by  the Davidic tradition and the promise of a future heir to David's  throne. From that point, it remained an important facet of Israelite  faith, as evidenced by its frequent recurrence in the Hebrew Bible and  other early Jewish texts. In preexilic texts, the expectation is for an  earthly king-a son of David with certain ethical qualities-whereas from  the exile onward there is a transition to a pluriform messianism, often with utopic traits.   Warrior, King, Servant, Savior is an  exegetical and diachronic study of messianism in these texts that  maintains close dialogue with relevant historical research and  archaeological insights. Internationally respected biblical scholar  Torleif Elgvin recounts the development and impact of messianism, from  ancient Israel through the Hasmonean era and the rabbinic period, with  rich chapters exploring messianic expectations in the Northern Kingdom,  postexilic Judah, and Qumran, among other contexts. For this  multifaceted topic-of marked interest to Jews, Christians, and secular  historians of religion alike-Elgvin's handbook is the essential and  definitive guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EERDMANS ACADEMIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52043910381842,"sku":"9780802878182","price":72.65,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780802878182.jpg?v=1774736044","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780802878182","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
