Synopsis
Excerpt from The Message of the Son of Man
The present treatise invites the general reader to take a brief and comprehensive view of the results of a long and detailed investigation into the meaning of Christ's self-appellation, in which the investigator starts from the hypothesis that Jesus was more likely to be influenced by the jewish scriptures than by the Jewish apocrypha. The latter should certainly be called in to our aid, but, in the author's judgment, not until the former have been fully utilised.

About the Author
Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838-1926) has been ranked as one of the leading scholars and theologians of the Victorian era. He received highest honors in mathematics, classics, and theology at St. John's College, Cambridge, and in 1862 began a brilliant career, during which he served as schoolmaster of some of England's outstanding schools. At the same time he distinguished himself as a scholar, and in 1889 he retired to his studies. Although "Flatland, a literary jeu d'esprit, " has given pleasure to thousands of readers over many generations, Abbott is best known for his scholarly works, especially his "Shakespearian Grammar "and his life of Francis Bacon, and for a number of theological discussions.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the title āSon of Manā uttered by Jesus in all four gospels, a term used in the Old Testament to refer to Ezekiel and, once, to Daniel. The author argues Jesus chose this title intentionally because of the parallels between himself and Ezekiel, who saw a vision of 'the appearance of a man' above the Throne in heaven. The author believes that the title implied a divine element to Man, a belief that Jesus aimed to emphasize. In their view, Jesus saw himself as embodying the humanity of God and divinity of Man, highlighting the possibilities of humanity rather than the superiority of God. By centering the discussion on the Old Testament, the author illuminates the rich historical and cultural context of Jesusā teachings, shedding light on how his message resonated with his audience and the significance of his emphasis on the āSon of Manā title. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331784012_0
