The Messiah: A Comparative Study of the Enochic Son of Man and the Pauline Kyrios (Jewish and Christian Texts)

Overview

This volume discusses conceptual elements of messianic traditions that are identified in the Parables of Enoch and the Letters of Paul by examining the nature and functions of the divine figure and of the Messiah figure. Comparative analysis demonstrates that these works share specific conceptual elements of messianic traditions. The combination of shared elements is so striking as to preclude the possibility that the Parables of Enoch and the Letters of Paul constituted independent, parallel developments. While it cannot be claimed that Paul was necessarily familiar with the text of the Parables of Enoch, Waddell does show that Paul was familiar with the conceptual elements of the Enochic messiah and that Paul developed his concept of the Kyrios out of those Son of Man traditions. Waddell specifically argues Pauline Christology was at the very least heavily influenced by Enochic Son of Man traditions.
