To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To the formation of the highest type of character some acquaintance with grief is necessary : but that God should bargain for the agonies of one man as a compensation for the sins of all other men, is no less opposed to Judaism than it is revolting to the dictates of uncorrupted reason. We may therefore pass by the doctrine of a suffering Messiah and of a Messiah son of Joseph, as the offspring of that mystical school, in which the union of intense religious enthusiasm with a defective judgment... was productive of results involving at times no little danger to that very religion it meant to honour and exalt. In this same mystical school originated also the doc- trines of the pre-existence and concealment of Messiah. Pesachim, 54a, includes his name among the seven things created before the world was called into being. (See also Beresh. Rab. I. , Pirke 'd R. Eliezer 3, and the Targum on Is. Ix. 5. ) Probably nothing more was meant than that the Messiah had a place in the original igo THE MESSIANIC IDEA IN JUDAISM scheme of God for the welfare of the beings He was about to create.
