'Son of Man' is practically the only self-designation employed by Jesus in the New Testament Gospels, yet it is used in such a way that no hint is left of any particular theological significance…
According to the gospels "Son of Man" is a self-designation of Jesus himself, and according to one view is no more than a form of self-designation, without messianic content. But although its meaning has been central to Christian thought from the beginning, the term is entirely absent from the New Testament outside the gospels, leaving no trace of its early theological significance. This is the first study of the history of interpretation of "Son of Man", from the Apostolic Fathers to the present day, showing how its various interpretations as a Christological title, or even nowadays as no title at all, reflect little more than the doctrinal positions of the interpreters.
