BIB 2905 Redemption and the Messianic Era

This course examines prophecies of redemption in the Latter Prophets (Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah). To gain a full understanding of the fundamental Jewish belief in the messianic era, we will analyze the prophecies in depth and probe their approaches to the messianic age. We will also read a few medieval philosophical analyses (Rav Saadiah Gaon, Rambam, Ramban), which treat the topic more systematically than prophecies.
