Messiah is one of the most popular and most contested terms in Christian reflection, with many often reading the concept back into early Old Testament texts. In The One Who Is to Come, Joseph Fitzmyer carefully and comprehensively contradicts this misreading, tracing the emergence of messianism in Judaism to a much later date - the second century B.C.
