Synopsis

The Son Of Man by Thomas Wickes. The work is a devotional theological study that presents eternal life as knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, and traces the life of Jesus from his birth in Bethlehem, through Galilee, to his public ministry, temptation, and encounters with the marginalized. Wickes argues that true knowledge of God is found in Christ and emphasizes Christ's humility and self-sacrificial mission. The book surveys Jesus's life through a sequence of sermons and expositions on topics such as the baptism, temptation, Galilee, and the disciples, and exposes the dynamics of Jesus’ interactions with figures like the Samaritan woman, Zacchaeus, the Prodigal Son, the publicans, and the woman taken in adultery. It challenges contemporary religious authorities (the Pharisees and the Talmud) and promotes liberty through faith in Christ. It culminates in a vision of Christian liberty—the overthrow of spiritual monopolies and the dignity of service as the path to empire, with a call to reconciliation of law and mercy in God’s kingdom.
