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. 410 0$aLiverpool scholarship online. 606 $aMessiah$xJudaism$xHistory of doctrines$y20th century 606 $aHabad$vControversial literature 606 $aEschatology, Jewish 606 $aOrthodox Judaism$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMessiah$xJudaism$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aHabad 615 0$aEschatology, Jewish. 615 0$aOrthodox Judaism$xHistory 676 $a296.3/36 700 $aBerger$b David$f1943-$0738955 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910527930603321 996 $aThe Rebbe, the Messiah, and the scandal of orthodox indifference$92656193 997 $aUNINA
