The Hebrew-Christian Messiah
The book "The Hebrew-Christian Messiah" by A. Lukyn Williams delves into the history and beliefs of Hebrew-Christians after the Fall of Jerusalem. The author highlights the need for encouragement among this group of believers and discusses their possession of St. Matthew's Gospel. The author also explores why he chose to write in Greek and emphasizes the duty of modern Christians to present Christ to modern Jews.
The book outlines the plan of the lectures, starting with the materials available for learning about the Hebrew Messiah around 25 A.D. The author discusses how new facts have led to a modification of the representation of the Messiah, ultimately resulting in the formation of Christianity.
The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on different aspects of the Hebrew-Christian Messiah. The genealogy of Jesus is examined in detail, discussing its form and meaning. The virgin birth, as prophesied in Isaiah 7:14, is considered a crucial proof by St. Matthew.
The book also delves into the prophecies surrounding the Messiah, including Micah 5:2 and Hosea 11:1. The visit of the Magi, the massacre of the innocents as described in Jeremiah 31:15, and the significance of Nazareth in the Messiah's story are all explored.
The book also touches on the relationship between the Messiah and John the Baptist, as well as the concept of the true Elijah. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of keeping the language English for better understanding and accessibility.
