The Son of Man is a nonfiction book by British author Andrew Harvey, published in 1998. [1]
The book offers a model for "the authentic full-grown Christ-consciousness", which the author believes has been obscured for two millennia by a Christianity "full of weakness and mistakes and not a full-grown Christianity springing from the spirit of Jesus".
The first chapter is an historical introduction to this essentially mystical book, preparing for Harveys later chapters concentrating on mysticism, ecstatic visions and written in exalted language.
The author posits that many comforting myths have to be surrendered, along with the belief in the total veracity of the Gospels themselves. His human Son of Man turns out to be as infallible as the divine Son of God. As a result, this book is inspiration for those who are mainly interested in the mystical aspects of Christ and can be commended for some inspiring interpretations of Jesus' original teachings.
According to Harvey [2]
Harvey's book points out feminine aspects of Jesus, neglected by mainstream Christianity, according to him.
