The Son of Man in Mark’s Gospel

“Is there anything left to say on the subject of the Son of Man that hasn’t been said already—and is worth saying? This valuable study by David Mitchell shows that there is! By examining the use of ‘Son of Man’ in Mark’s Gospel and the book of Ezekiel, he demonstrates that there are enough links between them to suggest that Ezekiel played some role in Jesus’s choice of this self-designation.”


—Allan Chapple, Senior Lecturer in New Testament, Trinity Theological College





“Mitchell’s volume cuts through the complexity surrounding ‘the Son of Man.’ It offers a rich understanding of Jesus’s role within Mark and develops the biblical-theological significance of ‘Son of Man’ language. This book is short, carefully argued, full of good exegesis, and will be on the reading list for my Christology course.”


—Philip H. Kern, Head of New Testament, Moore Theological College
