Back in August, I saw that my friend David Benjamin Blower was engaging with an influential essay by the Jewish historian of religion Gershom Scholem entitled "Toward an Understanding of the Messianic Idea in Judaism." I'd never heard of Scholem or his essay, so I read it and have gathered below some summary thoughts and reflections.
I love this. We should have a cup of tea sometime. Blessings to you and J
