Messianic Promise

CRITICAL: the Qur’an itself calls Isa ‘al-Masih’ (e.g. Qur’an 3:45), so the title is shared, but without the Old Testament messianic-fulfillment content, divine sonship, or atoning death Paul assumes. The shared title must never be treated as settling the theological content behind it; the content of Messiahship in Romans must be explicitly taught as going well beyond the Quranic Isa al-Masih.
