Messiah
‘A messiah complex’ is a common pop-psychology term of mild clinical mockery for main-character grandiosity, an association this curriculum should be aware could color the word negatively for some readers; the term’s specific, positive, Jewish-messianic-fulfillment sense in Romans 9:5 should be actively restated.
