Son of Man, Vol. 1 by Richard Bauckham

Son of Man, Vol. 1 by Richard Bauckham

Who is the Son of Man?
 
In pre-Christian Jewish writings, Son of Man was not a title, and it certainly did not indicate divinity. It was simply an expression for a man. Yet the term has held considerable interest among scholars of Christology for its use in describing Jesus in the gospels. And among those studying messianism in Second Temple Judaism, consensus about the valences of Son of Man in Scripture remains elusive.

In the first volume of this landmark study, Richard Bauckham pushes the conversation forward, explicating the phrase Son of Man as it appears in Jewish interpretations of the book of Daniel and in the apocryphal book of 1 Enoch. With philological precision and sensitivity to his sources, Bauckham attunes us to the realities of early Jewish eschatology.

Thorough and comprehensive, Son of Man, vol. 1, offers scholars a solid basis for understanding the context of the messiah in the centuries leading up to Jesus. Along with the forthcoming second volume, which parses the meaning of Son of Man in the Gospels, Bauckham's work is essential for understanding one of the most widely used yet misunderstood phrases in the Bible.
