What is the nature of reality in the days of the Messiah? This work explores reactions to the seductive promises of apocalyptic teachings, tracing their fluctuations between intellect and imagination. The volume extensively surveys the tension between naturalistic and apocalyptic approaches to the history of the messianic idea so fundamental to the history of Jewish philosophy in the Middle Ages and reveals the scope and challenges of medieval thought Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English Print version record Subject Messianic era (Judaism) -- History of doctrines Redemption -- Judaism -- History of doctrines Jewish philosophy.
