Description: First written for an Orthodox Jewish professor in a course at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, this work explores the question of how early Jewish-Christianity viewed the Messiah - as human or divine? This question is answered based on the use of the New Testament statements about the Messiah and the evidence from archaeological excavations of first-third century AD Jewish ossuaries (burial boxes) from the Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem. Includes summary charts of the concept of Yeshua's (Jesus') divinity based on the New Testament. |
