Ehrman, Bart D.Forged: Writing in the Name of God--Why the Bible's Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are. — HarperOne, 22 March 2011. — P. 163. — «The truth, of course, is that Jews throughout history have been no more illiterate, blind, or stupid than Christians. The typical response of Jews to the Christian claims that Jesus fulfilled prophecy is that the scriptural passages that Christians cite are either not speaking of a future messiah or are not making predictions at all. And one has to admit, just looking at this set of debates from the outside, the Jewish readers have a point. In the passages allegedly predicting the death and resurrection of Jesus, for example, the term 'messiah' in fact never does occur. Many Christians are surprised by this claim, but just read Isaiah 53 for yourself and see». — ISBN 978-0-06-207863-6.
Rydelnik, Michael.The Messianic Hope: Is the Hebrew Bible Really Messianic?. — New American Commentary Studies in Bible and Theology Series. — B&H Publishing Group, 2010. — P. 22, 26. — «non-critical scholars by their prooftexting actually discredit the claims of Jesus in the eyes of literary and historical critics ... much of contemporary critical scholarship on messianism, which argues that the messianic idea did not develop until the intertestamental period ... Old Testament scholarship is now divided: The majority takes a more historical approach to the Old Testament, resulting in a minimalist view of the Messiah in the Hebrew Bible». — ISBN 978-1-4336-7297-2.
