A discussion of the history and use of the phrase 'son of man'.The
opening chapter surveys the history of scholarship regarding the
problematic use of the phrase 'son of man' in the New Testament. It
also explains why this problem could not be solved until recently.
Casey then presents the relevant Aramaic evidence. He offers a
careful discussion of the use of the Aramaic term 'son of man' in
the light of over 30 examples of the use of this term by speakers
who are referring to themselves. Chapters 4-9 discuss authentic
examples of this idiom in the teaching of Jesus, with Aramaic
reconstructions of each saying. All but one of these sayings is
found in Mark or 'Q'. There is then a full discussion of secondary
sayings in the Synoptic Gospels. The first ones dependent on
"Daniel 7.13" belong to the earliest Gospel, which also contains
the results of translating genuine sayings of Jesus from Aramaic
into Greek.There is a discussion of the transition process between
authentic Aramaic sayings of Jesus and Greek 'son of man' sayings
in the synoptic Gospels. This argument builds on work in the field
of translation studies, and the work of ancient translators,
especially of the Septuagint. Casey argues that Gospel translators
deliberately translated both literally and creatively to produce a
new Christological title. It is this tradition that is evident in
the Fourth Gospel: its 'son of man' sayings fit perfectly into
Johannine theology. The final chapter draws together a complete
solution to this difficult problem.
