520    Over the centuries, people have longed for a messiah, 
       whether a religious figure such as Jesus, a political 
       leader, or even in popular culture. The messianic quest 
       emerges most acutely during difficult times when people 
       experience a sense of powerlessness and desperation. But 
       the concept of a messiah-a savior-has its root in the 
       writings of ancient Judaism and early Christianity, 
       evolving from an anointed leader to universal savior. 
       Wilson turns to a little understood pre-Christian text, 
       The Psalms of Solomon," which set the stage for messianic 
       expectation just prior to the birth of Jesus. Known today 
       only to a handful of scholars-in marked contrast to the 
       Song of Solomon"-these important pslams were composed not 
       by a King, but by a devout 1st century BCE Jew who 
       witnessed terrible atrocities under brutal Roman rule. 
       This crucial work encourages us to ask: what is a messiah?
       Who is a messiah? How would we recognized one should he or
       she appear? And what is a messiah supposed to do? In his 
       own lifetime, Jesus directed his followers to search for 
       the messiah within" in his parables. Later, Paul changed 
       the concept of the messiah," to the Christ," when 
       presenting his message to Gentiles instead of Jews. Jesus 
       was no longer a Jewish messiah but a Hellenistic divine 
       avatar. In Searching for the Messiah, Wilson reveals how 
       this collective search for messiahs throughout modern 
       human history has been fundamentally flawed. Jesus himself
       rejected the idea of an external fixer, instead 
       formulating his teachings to focus on the role of the 
       individual, their choices, and their actions. Searching 
       for the Messiah is revelatory and illuminating work of 
       scholarship that will challenge and inspire.
