Summary
Messianism is one of the great themes in intellectual history. But, precisely because it has done so much important ideological work for the people who have written about it, the historical roots of the discourse itself have been obscured from view. What did it mean to talk about 'messiahs' in the ancient world, before the idea of messianism became a philosophical juggernaut? This work covers this important topic.
