The aim of this work is to provide basic historical insights into the origins of the messianic myth and its future developments within various world religions (see our Table of contents). Issues of millenarian ideas in connection to the world saviour theme are also part of the study. We intend to provide an enlarged picture upon the subject of the world saviours including some current trends. All major characters we present herein are messianic per se; some will prove to have eschatological features as well.The aim of this work is to provide basic historical insights into the origins of the messianic myth and its future developments within various world religions (see our Table of contents).
