This volume deals with the female dynasty of the House of David and its influence on the Jewish Messianic Myth. It provides a missing link in the chain of research on the topic of messianism and contributes to the understanding of the connection between female transgression and redemption, from the Bible through Rabbinic literature until the Zohar. The discussion of the centrality of the mother image in Judeo-Christian culture and the parallels between the appearance of Mary in the Gospels and the Davidic Mothers in the Hebrew Bible, stresses mutual representations of "the mother of the messiah" in Christian and Jewish imaginaire. Through the prism of gender studies and by stressing questions of femininity, motherhood and sexuality, the subject appears in a new light. This research highlights the importance of intertwining Jewish literary study with comparative religion and gender theories, enabling the process of filling in the 'mythic gaps' in classical Jewish sources. The book won the Pines, Lakritz and Warburg awards.
This volume explores the female dynasty of the House of David and its influence on the Jewish messianic myth. It provides a missing link in the chain of research on the topic of messianism and contributes to the understanding of the connection between female transgression and redemption, from the Bible through Rabbinic literature until the Zohar. The author examines the centrality of the mother image in Judeo-Christan culture and the parallels between the figure of Mary in the Gospels and the Davidic mothers in Hebrew Scripture, revealing reciprocal representations of “the mother of the Messiah” in Christian and Jewish imaginaire. Deploying theories in gender studies, psychoanalysis, and comparative religion, this study offers a uniquely composite approach the “mythic gaps” in classic Jewish sources. The book won the Pines, Lakritz, and Warburg awards.
