The Historical Jewish Exegesis of the Old Testament Messianic Prophecies

William Webster is a former Roman Catholic who is now a Reformed Protestant apologist. I have read a number of his books (e.g., The Church of Rome at the Bar of History; The Gospel of the Reformation; the 3-volume set, with David T. King, Holy Scripture: The Ground and Pillar of Our Faith). I find much of his arguments, even where I would fundamentally agree with him, to be hit-and-miss.

Notwithstanding, he has a book Behold Your King: Prophetic Proofs that Jesus is the Messiah. An appendix in this volume is invaluable, and fortunately, there is an online version that is available:

The Historical Jewish Exegesis of the Old Testament Messianic Prophecies

Such would be an important resource about (1) Messianic expectation in Jewish interpretation and (2) if/when one discusses Jesus being the Messiah with Jewish apologists and investigators of the Restored Gospel.
