In these studies Dr Manson's main object has been to demonstrate two propositions. The first is that the form in which the teaching of Jesus is delivered is determined by two factors: the kind of audience addressed, and the period in the ministry - either before or after Peter's confession. The second is that the key to the contents of the teaching is the prophetic notion of the Remnant: that 'the Son of Man' in the teaching represents Jesus' formulation of the Remnant ideal; and that he is the Son of Man by embodying that ideal in his own person.
