In his argument, Bar Hiyya presents a view of history, the course of which was planted by God in creation, which runs inevitably towards the future redemption of the Jews. Bar Hiyya uses philosophical, scientific, biblical and astrological material to support his argument, and several times makes use of originally Christian ideas, which he inverts to suit his argument.Studies on the Children of Abraham ;Volume 4.MessiahJudaismMessianic era (Judaism)Eschatology, JewishResurrection (Jewish theology)RedemptionJudaismMessiahJudaism.Messianic era (Judaism)Eschatology, Jewish.Resurrection (Jewish theology)RedemptionJudaism.296.3/117Töyrylä Hannu1507265MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791173703321Abraham Bar Hiyya on time, history, exile and redemption3737831UNINA
