Synopsis

A clear, accessible look at how Jesus used the title “son of man” to define His mission and humanity.

This scholarly yet readable study surveys how the phrase is used in the Hebrew Bible and how it informs Christ’s self-understanding. The author argues for a unity between God and humanity and shows how early Christian thought drew on Hebrew ideas to describe the Church as a living, growing temple built by the Son of Man.

  • How Ezekiel, Daniel, and other scriptures shape the meaning of “son of man”
  • The idea that the temple and city of God are built from people, not bricks
  • How Christ’s humanity and divine role work together in salvation
  • Connections to Paul, Hebrews, and other biblical voices to explain Jesus’ mission
Ideal for readers of biblical theology, church history, and anyone seeking a deeper grasp of how early Christians understood Jesus’s self‑description and mission.
