The Son of Man in the Parables of Enoch and in Matthew
Overview
This book examines all the relevant passages containing the term “Son of Man” in both Matthew and the Parables of Enoch. Depictions of the Son of Man in the Gospel of Matthew and in the Parables of Enoch raise questions about their relationship. The meaning and origin of the term “Son of Man” is discussed and its use by Matthew and the Parable of Enoch is thoroughly examined. Introductory questions of date, provenance, and social setting are addressed for both Matthew and the Parables of Enoch. Based on dating considerations and a comparison of the Son of Man’s characteristics in each, it is argued that the author of the Matthew could have been aware of and influenced by the Parables of Enoch. Walck utilizes literary, redaction, sociological, and narrative criticism to explore the relationship between these two important texts of antiquity.
