Interpretation and reception

Sefer HaIkkarim (Book of Principles)

Joseph Albo

Makes Messiah obligatory through prophetic authority but not a fundamental principle whose denial nullifies Torah. Surveys past-fulfillment readings before defending still-unfulfilled national restoration, Gog, land allotment and Elijah prophecies.
