101 Names of Messiah

101 Names of Messiah
By Israel Today columnist Dr. Tzvi Sadan

This breakthrough book introduces the reader to the rich background and meaning behind the names of the Messiah, such as "Majestic," "Breaker-through," "Glory," "Stone," "Date Tree," and "Lebanon." Tsvi Sadan provides an unusual lens through which we are able to view one hundred and one of these names, highlighting the little-known significance of each. In ancient Israel, naming represented—and still represents to this day—a profound spiritual act, because the names given indicate hopes for, as well as the personality and character, of the name-bearer. That the Messiah is assigned various names in the Bible and other traditional Jewish sources establishes the Jewish understanding of the Messiah as being a distinct and recognizable person, in contrast to more modern approaches to the Messiah as more of a concept. Through the variety of titles bestowed upon him, we are able to form a fuller and deeper picture of him, his nature, and his office.

Accessible yet profound, this book impacts readers across the gamut. Those with no knowledge of the Hebrew language, as well as those who are comfortable with Hebrew, will receive new insights from the rich meaning of the Hebrew names.

101 Names of Messiah provides a fascinating glimpse into the person of the Messiah as presented by biblical texts as well as ancient, medieval and modern Jewish sources, taking the reader on an intriguing tour of the titles, tags, and tasks assigned to the Messiah. Get your electronic copy today
