Bibliology on Books on the Messiah

Essentially the concept of the Messiah (Hebrew) or Christ (Greek for the same word) is that specially anointed one. This refers to that one anointed by God for the mission of saving the world. This same person is God himself, the second person of the Trinity, which had the task to undertake Salvation by the offering of himself as a human sacrifice for mankind.

Within these concepts, Messiah occurs very scarcely in the Old Testament, but it does occur. In the New Testament, Jesus quickly picked up on that term “Christ” for himself. So there are two concepts here that diverge or become different. What the Old Testament Jew believed as “Messiah” which the New Testament believers rightfully assigned to Jesus. And what the New Testament Jews (and Jews after that) that rejected Jesus as the Messiah distorted.




Wikipedia.org explanation.
GotQuestions.Com – What does Messiah mean? Good general article.
GotQuestions.Com – What does Christ mean? Good general article.
CRI – Jesus is the Messiah. Excellent background article.
Jona Lendering – Overview of articles on Messiah – I don’t know that this lady is saved or not, but it appears to be a survey of different people through history that claimed to be the Messiah.

Septuagint – The Septuagint (abbreviated LXX) is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament Scriptures done in Egypt around 200 years before the birth of Christ. It is called Septuagint (LXX or 70) because supposedly the Egyptian Jews undertook the project of translating the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek, and selected 6 rabbis of note from each of the 12 tribes to do so. These 72 men (we do not know why it is later reduced to 70) entered separate quarters to undertake the task, and when finished they all came out with identical translations (as so goes the story). Of important note, Christ and the New Testament at times quotes the Septuagint over the Hebrew Scriptures (and at times they preferred to undertake a direct translation of the Hebrew against the Septuagint). The important point here is that they used a translation that was not “best” in all verses, and directly translated from the originals at times, and at other times used that popular translation.
