When Did ‘Messiah’ Become a Proper Name

Douglas R.A. Hare

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

The thesis of this article is that the words for ‘anointed’ in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek were used by Jews as early as Paul not only as a title ‘the Messiah’ but also as a proper name, ‘Messiah’. After reviewing the scholarly debate, the writer points to New Testament evidence that supports the thesis, notably the use of messias in John 1:41, 4:25.

Key Words: anointed • Messiah • messias • proper name • cognomen
