It records the shattering of one of Judaism's core beliefs and the remarkable equanimity with which the standard-bearers of Orthodoxy have allowed it to happen. This is a development of striking importance for the history of religions, and it is an earthquake inthe history of Judaism. David Berger describes the unfolding of this historic phenomenon and proposes a strategy to contain it.Liverpool scholarship online.MessiahJudaismHistory of doctrines20th centuryHabadControversial literatureEschatology, JewishOrthodox JudaismHistory20th centuryMessiahJudaismHistory of doctrinesHabadEschatology, Jewish.Orthodox JudaismHistory296.3/36Berger David1943-738955UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910527930603321The Rebbe, the Messiah, and the scandal of orthodox indifference2656193UNINA
