Description
Summary:A perceptive investigation into the origin and meaning of the expression 'ho huios tou anthropou' as it occurs in John. This mysterious phrase, commonly translated as 'The Son of Man', is Jesus' primary self-designation; many critics see it as the key to his self-understanding. Yet scholars have come to no consensus on its origin and meaning. The author examines the phrase in John without relying on theories derived from Synoptic research. He concludes that John uses it in the sense 'the Son of the Man' to identify Jesus as the son of the enigmatic figure 'the Man' mentioned in Proverbs 30.1.
