description: Following the powerful motif of the "coming of the Son of man" throughout the Bible from Daniel to Revelation, Andrew Perriman provides thought-provoking ideas about this eschatological narrative. What was it like to hear the biblical proclamation of this "coming" for the first time in a cultural, political and religious context very different from our own? How did early Christians think about the imminence of the promised apocalypse? This book engages the minds of jaded twenty-first century postmodernists who have "heard it all before". By seeing the fulfillment of much of New Testament apocalyptic in events of the first century, Perriman proposes that in some important sense we have moved beyond eschatology into an age of renewal. The Coming of the Son of Man is important reading for those who want to engage in the debate concerning what church is and will be.
