<br/><br/> The term "Messiah" ;   The use of [masiah] in the Old Testament  Other Old Testament passages often regarded as the background of the term "Messiah" ;   Old Testament passages that reveal a developing understanding of the Davidic dynasty  The role of Daniel 9:25-26 in the emergence of Messianism  The Septuagint's interpretation of some Old Testament passages  Extrabiblical Jewish writings of the Second Temple period  The use of Messiah in the New Testament  The use of Messiah in the Mishnah, Targums, and other rabbinic writings  Conclusion. 
<br/><br/> Messiah is one of the most popular and most contested terms in Christian reflection, with many often reading the concept back into early Old Testament texts. Joseph Fitzmyer carefully and comprehensively contradicts this misreading, tracing the emergence of messianism to a much later date - 2nd century B.C.
