Overview

"The messianic prophecies of Jesus are one of the most discussed, yet often misunderstood, topics of the Bible. Join one of the world's leading scripture scholars in exploring this fascinating subject. This nine-lecture series takes you on a gripping journey from the Age of the Prophets to the Babylonian Exile (587 BC) to the writing of the Dead Sea Scrolls during Jesus's time. Along the way, you will explore essential passages in both the Old and New Testaments, shedding light on your understanding of Jesus as the Messiah. What exactly does the word ""messianic"" mean? Under the guidance of Fr. Michael Guinan, O.F.M., you will dive into the biblical passages that address the concept of the Messiah, looking at the Davidic covenant and the promise of the ""anointed king"" in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the post-exilic prophets. You will also explore how the New Testament addresses Jesus as the fulfillment of these messianic prophecies. After examining how early Christian texts addressed messianic meanings, you will look back over the road you've traveled to ask the most essential questions: In what sense can we say that the Old Testament ""predicts"" Jesus as messiah? And what does it mean to say that Jesus fulfills such promises? If you love to explore scripture and faith, this course is for you."
