Riassunto

The Library of New Testament Studies (LNTS) is a premier book series that offers cutting-edge work for a readership of scholars, teachers in the field of New Testament studies, postgraduate students and advanced undergraduates. All the many and diverse aspects of New Testament study are represented and promoted, including innovative work from historical perspectives, studies using social-scientific and literary theory, and developing theological, cultural and contextual approaches.

This volume is the first ever collection of scholarly essays in English devoted specifically to the theme of the expression `son of man'. It describes the major competing theories which have addressed, among others, the following questions. What is the original Aramaic expression that lies behind the Greek phrase, and what was its original connotation? How do the gospel writers use the expression `son of man'? Is it a Christological title, pregnant with meaning, much like the titles `son of God', `Christ/Messiah', and `son of David'? Is it used as a way of designating Jesus as a human being of unique redemptive significance? Or does it rather originate in a nuanced use of an Aramaic expression used in place of the first person pronoun, as an indefinite pronoun, or for generic statements about human beings?

Albert Lukaszewski discusses the history of the `son of man' and provides an overview of the numerous methodological and linguistic issues relating to the expression. Paul Owen, David Shepherd and Peter Williams engage with the work of Maurice Casey. Darrell Bock, Benjamin Reynolds and Darrell Hannah investigate the use of `son of man' and the appropriation of Daniel 7, at Jesus' trial, in John's Gospel, and within the Parables of Enoch respectively. This volume consolidates and confirms numerous important points for further exploration and debate of this crucial issue in New Testament studies.
