{"product_id":"human-being-walter-wink-9780800632625","title":"Human Being","description":"A thorny historical issue handled with artistry and imagination The epithet \"the son of the man\" (or \"the Human Being\") in the Gospels has been a highly debated topic. 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. Wink 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Wink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0800632621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800632625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Augsburg Fortress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Book of the Year - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/22\/2002 pg. 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2002 pg. 1605","brand":"Walter Wink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947161616639,"sku":"9780800632625","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6ae28297-8793-482d-9f00-629c36d4ebc2.jpg?v=1681517084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-being-walter-wink-9780800632625","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
