Son of God

Introduction

The paper intends to highlight the historical context of the Title of 'Son of God' with its theological implications in Christianity.

After that the King was called as the father and the vassals of him were known as 'his sons' and they both called 'brothers' each other (Barker 1995:19). In such a way, the community of Israelite covenant used the terms for kinship; such as 'father', brother', and 'son', for defining biological relationships and social relationships.

The Messiah King is called 'Son of God' in the New Testament; his nation is called 'Sons of God' and God is known as 'their Father'.

In Paul, the Son of God seems as a supra mundane that stand in the adjoining metaphysical association to God. According to John, Christ is the heavenly Son of God in a relation that is spiritual and ethical, but also from its core nature (Taylor, 1958). The doctrine of Jesus is not strange to the New Testament's writers, but it is traced back from the former period.
