Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-26 00:00:00 George Kidney A book focusing on how the idea of divinity of the King, Messiah and Jesus came about and became connected.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-07-24 00:00:00 Jolie Schoffelen Read in conjunction with a Bible study I conducted on the same theme, this was a fabulous study by two top scholars in the Hebrew Bible, the intertestimental period (including the Dead Sea Scrolls) and the New Testament. And they're happily married to each other! The book meticulously clarifies the origins--in Hebrew thought--of what the terms "Son of God" (royal and then messianic) and "Son of Man" (apocalyptic) meant and then developed up to and into the period of the New Testament. John and Adela Collins write clearly, respectfully, and thoroughly. Does it take a degree in Bible or theology to understand it? Maybe. A great read!
