Messiah
CRITICAL: Mesih is transliterated and shared with the Qur’anic al-Masih title given to Isa, but the Qur’an empties the title of its Old-Testament content (anointed king-priest-savior fulfilling David’s line) and treats it as an honorific with no salvific weight. Every use of Mesih in this curriculum must be paired with the full OT-fulfillment content Paul assumes, not left as a bare, familiar-sounding label.
