A thorny historical issue handled with artistry and imagination The
epithet "the son of the man" (or "the Human Being") in the Gospels
has been a highly debated topic. Wink uses this phrase to explore
not only early Christology but the anthropology articulated in the
Gospels. Jesus apparently avoided designations such as Messiah, Son
of God, or God, though these titles were given by his disciples
after his death and resurrection. But Jesus is repeatedly depicted
as using the obscure expression "the Human Being" as virtually his
only form of self- reference. Wink explores how Jesus'
self-referential phrase came to be universalized as the "Human
Being" or "Truly Human One." The Human Being is a catalytic agent
for transformation, providing the form and lure and hunger to
become who we were meant to be, or more properly perhaps, to become
who we truly are.
