LITERATURE CONSULTED 
In our roots studies we have used principally Hebrew and Aramaic source texts, well-known to those familiar with the subject. Adequate reference to the literature is made in the text itself. Western studies concerned solely with the Messianic idea, which we have followed through the years, amount to, according to my card index, around 300. In this NT section the most pertinent of them are probably the following:
