"When (the Messiah) comes to the Pope and commands by virtue of divine instruction: 'Set my people free', then he will have come. But to this day he has not come and is therefore in no respect a Messiah." Moses ben Nachman said this during the disputation in Barcelona in 1263 he was forced to take part, highlighting the problem of the Messiah from the Jewish side. On the Christian side, the question of the Messiah was no less difficult because Jesus did not return a second time and history after him was not better than before. Referring to striking historical examples and a new access to this question, the debates surrounding the Messiah from Nazareth will be critically developed and reflected upon.
