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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWink 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 08, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Book of the Year (2002)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42590799495264,"sku":"9780800632625","price":76.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/eXczZnUvSkZ3a0J2Zm1kZ1ZJOVFrQT09.webp?v=1771343705","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-human-being-jesus-and-the-enigma-of-the-son-of-the-man-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
