## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A very important, but controversial book
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2017*

Although I differ with some of the interpretations and conclusions of the author, Mitchell's book is a landmark work in many ways, and he is to be commended for producing the most comprehensive collection and discussion of texts on Messiah ben Joseph in any language to date. His thesis that the concept of Messiah ben Joseph was derived directly from the biblical texts (as opposed to, e.g, a response to the failed revolt of Bar Kochba) demands attention, although I find it unlikely that the reference to Joseph as a firstborn bull in Deut 33:17 speaks of him destined for slaughter (as opposed to speaking primarily about his preeminence). At the same time, Mitchell challenges us to look afresh at this biblical text, among others that point to the importance of Joseph, while reexamining rabbinic interpretation of these texts. So, overall, a very important volume, now to be read side by side with Martha Himmelfarb's just published Jewish Messiahs in a Christian Empire, which offers a different understanding of some of the key texts.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A bit disappointing
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020*

Dr. Mitchell has certainly put a lot of care and work into this volume. Unfortunately, what comes through most clearly is that despite his ample knowledge of Hebrew texts, Judaism is still very much foreign to him. The premise of the whole book seems to be that there are Rabbis, Jewish authors of religious texts and learned Jews who never saw page 52, side a or b, of Tractate Sukkah of the Babylonian Talmud. Which is risible.I hope this will help Christians better understand Judaism, but I wouldn't recommend this as a beginning text.

    The messiah in the Torah and rabbinic texts that suffers and dies for the redemption of mankind
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2021*

Messiah Ben David is not the only prototype of the messiah in the Torah or Rabbinic literature.  The messiah Ben Joseph is portrayed in Genesis, the torah, the prophets, the Dead Sea scrolls, the New Testament and in rabbinic literature as a type of messiah who will suffer and die and bring redemption to fallen humanity.  Both are foreshadowing the 1st and 2nd coming of Jesus.  Highly recommended!
