BIBL2506J: Isaiah: Geulah & the Messianic Era

Abstract

This course examines גאולה and the messianic era. In order to gain a full understanding of this fundamental belief in Judaism we will analyze prophecies in ספר ישעיה in depth and probe their approaches to the messianic age. We will also read philosophical analyses of the messianic age, which treat the topic more systematically than the בואות do, but are still based on the פסוקים and .חז"ל All articles on the syllabus are available through the library's electronic reserve system, which is accessible directly from Canvas without a password.
