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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWarrior, King, Servant, Savior \u003c\/i\u003eis 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
