Title: Messiah & Exaltation
Description: "Andrew Chester focuses on Jewish messianic hope, intermediary figures, and visionary traditions of human transformation, particularly in the Second Temple period, and analyses their significance for the origin and development of New Testament Christology. This volume brings together five previously published essays (the last two extensively revised): on Jewish messianic and mediatorial traditions in relation to Pauline Christology, on messianism and eschatology in early Judaism and Christianity, on messiah and Temple in Sibylline Oracles 3-5, on the significance of Torah in the messianic age, and on resurrection, transformation and early Christology. There are also three substantial new chapters, all engaging closely with recent debate: the first is on the origin of Christology, the second on central issues in Jewish messianism, and the third on the law of Christ in Paul."--Jacket.
