I’d lend you mine but it’s down here with me in NZ for the summer. But libraries will have it soon no doubt.

I might well read it (though this isn’t one of my major current topics of interest), but at that price I won’t be buying it. From the blurb it doesn’t look like Maurice has changed the main line of his thought since a) his previous book and b) the days when I was one of his students. He’s a firm either-or man on both questions.

So skeptical? I just hope you read it. You might be surprised.

Perhaps with those contacts Jim, you could get me a free copy? Sounds good.
Steph, I shall be surprised if I agree with you that Maurice Casey’s book does indeed provide “the solution”.

Doug,
Thanks for your post. I would agree that the either/or distinction has muddied the issue. While it is not as explicitly stated, that was actually the point of my post. In short, I was responding to the position that it has nothing to do with the Daniel 7:13. I do think that Larry Hurtado has made an excellent case, but in need of some fine tuning in light of the apocalyptic background.
Thanks again,
Alan

The just released ‘The Solution to the ‘Son of Man’ Problem’ T&T Clark, 2007, by Maurice Casey, has what the title promises.

Sorry- ‘it’ being the book mentioned in the post…

I apologize for the ambiguity. I knew what I was thinking…

Doug, back in April I wrote this post:

Both you and Alan (and everyone really) would be immensely benefited by reading it when it comes out (which should be shortly).

It is incredibly thorough (and I speak from first hand experience with the manuscript).

Honestly, for researchers looking into the whole ‘Son of man” question- it is indispensible.
