The Distinction Between a True and False Messiah: Anointed One: Previously Censored Historical Records from Nearly 900 Years Ago

This special edition presents a newly prepared English translation of Maimonides' writings concerning the Mashiach (the Anointed One), including material that was historically subjected to censorship.The English translation presented here was prepared specifically for this edition and is not reproduced from a modern copyrighted English translation.Writing from within Jewish law and tradition, the great Rabbi Maimonides defines what the word Mashiach means and sets forth the concrete events and requirements that must actually occur before that title can be established.The purpose of this edition is neither to attack another faith nor to reinterpret Maimonides according to another faith's theology. It is to present the historical text and its concrete claims clearly, directly, and without theological distortion.Nearly nine centuries later, these words remain extraordinary in their precision, historical importance, and relevance.Consider this the ultimate closing argument.By the Great Rabbi Maimonides
