The Messiah before Jesus | Israel Knohl

Join us for a tell-all conversation with a leading biblical scholar on what really happened at the trial of Jesus, the concept of the Divine Messiah, the Holiness Code in Leviticus, Messianism and Mysticism in the Bible and the Deification of Moses – and what all of this might mean for us today. Dr. Israel Knohl is a Senior Research Fellow of the Kogod Research Center at Shalom Hartman Institute. He has a doctorate in Bible from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he is the Yehezkel Kaufmann Professor of Bible. Professor Knohl has served as a visiting professor at Harvard University, University of California at Berkeley, Stanford University and the University of Chicago Divinity School. https://www.hartman.org.il/person/isr...
