Excerpt from The Son of Man: Studies in the Gospel of Mark
But Thee, but Thee, O Sovereign, Seer of Time,
But Thee, O Poet's Poet, Wisdom's Tongue,
But Thee, O man's best Man, O love's best Love,
O perfect life in perfect labor writ,
O all men's Comrade, Servant, King, or Priest, -
What if or yet, what mote, what flaw, what lapse,
What least defect or shadow of defect,
What rumor tattled by an enemy,
Of inference loose, what lack of grace
Even in torture's grasp, or sleep's, or death's, -
Oh, what amiss may I forgive in Thee,
Jesus, good Paragon, thou Crystal Christ?
Sidney Lanier.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on Jesus as revealed through his use of the enigmatic title "Son of Man." Through deep analysis of the term's various uses in the Bible, the author presents a multifaceted portrait of Jesus, emphasizing his humanity and compassion. The book traces the title's roots in ancient Jewish tradition, where it symbolized both fragility and divine power. Jesus, the author argues, subverted this duality, embodying both the vulnerable mortal and the transcendent savior. By examining Jesus' teachings and actions in light of this title, the book unveils his mission as one of radical inclusivity and redemptive love. The author delves into Jesus' controversial claim to forgive sins, his interactions with outcasts and sinners, and his ultimate sacrifice on the cross, demonstrating how these acts exemplify the true meaning of the "Son of Man." The book challenges readers to reassess their understanding of Jesus, revealing him not as a distant figure of authority, but as a compassionate and accessible guide on the path to salvation.
