Searching for the Messiah Unlocking the “Psalms of Solomon” and Humanity’s Quest for a Savior

Barrie Wilson, Searching for the Messiah: Unlocking the Psalms of Solomon and Humanity’s Quest for a Savior (Pegasusbooks, 2020)

SEARCHING FOR THE MESSIAH is an historical introduction to the Jewish concept of the messiah and its subsequent transformations in Christian and secular culture. Publishers Weekly writes “Wilson explores the meaning of messiahship in this entertaining and challenging study. He begins with an apparently simple question: what makes for a messiah? It’s not such a simple question. Digging deeper…Wilson examines how messiahship became a global rather than a local concept. Historians and lay readers alike will appreciate Wilson’s ingenuity and deep scholarship.”
