![The Messianic Doctrine of the Lubavitcher Rebbe](https://assets.lulu.com/cover_thumbs/1/m/1mq889v-ebook-shortedge-384.jpg)
"This thesis will endeavour to explore the messianic personality and doctrine of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who was one of the most influential yet enigmatic Jewish figures of modern times. ...The Rebbe was one of the great religious ‘gurus’ of the twentieth century. A New York based Jewish mystic, who was not media shy, he was seen by many within the wider world, both Jewish and non-Jewish, as on a par with such figures as the Dalai Lama or the Pope."
<p>
His now worldwide movement and philosophy has fundamentally shaped the way Judaism sees and understands itself.
<p>
It is his last and overtly messianic message (the late 1980s and early 1990s) that has been his most radical, controversial and as yet unexplored contribution to post-war Jewish philosophy/theology and in my opinion possibly contains the most profound and radical modern Hasidic thought ever.
