Recent scholarship on ancient Judaism, finding only scattered references to        messiahs in Hellenistic- and Roman-period texts, has generally concluded that the        word ''messiah'' did not mean anything determinate in antiquity. Meanwhile,        interpreters of Paul, faced with his several hundred uses of the Greek word for        ''messiah,'' have concluded that christos in Paul does not bear its conventional        sense. Against this curious consensus, Matthew V. Novenson argues in Christ among        the Messiahs that all contemporary uses of such language, Paul's included, must be        taken as evidence for its range of meaning. In other words, early Jewish messiah        language is the kind of thing of which Paul's Christ language is an example.Looking        at the modern problem of Christ and Paul, Novenson shows how the scholarly        discussion of christos in Paul has often been a cipher for other, more urgent        interpretive disputes. He then traces the rise and fall of ''the messianic idea'' in        Jewish studies and gives an alternative account of early Jewish messiah language:        the convention worked because there existed both an accessible pool of linguistic        resources and a community of competent language users. Whereas it is commonly        objected that the normal rules for understanding christos do not apply in the case        of Paul since he uses the word as a name rather than a title, Novenson shows that        christos in Paul is neither a name nor a title but rather a Greek honorific, like        Epiphanes or Augustus.Focusing on several set phrases that have been taken as        evidence that Paul either did or did not use christos in its conventional sense,        Novenson concludes that the question cannot be settled at the level of formal        grammar. Examining nine passages in which Paul comments on how he means the word        christos, Novenson shows that they do all that we normally expect any text to do to        count as a messiah text. Contrary to much recent research, he argues that Christ        language in Paul is itself primary evidence for messiah language in ancient        Judaism.
