Description El Hijo del Hombre es una exploración brillante sobre el mundo que existía antes del Evangelio. Un libro lúcido, culto y profundamente entretenido que demuestra que la historia, contada con pasión y precisión, puede ser una experiencia reveladora de lo que somos.

Con una claridad extraordinaria y una erudición deslumbrante, Juan Esteban Constaín reconstruye el escenario en el que surgió la religión que cambió para siempre el rumbo de la humanidad. Grecia, Roma y el judaísmo del Segundo Templo se encuentran aquí como pocas veces en un ensayo contemporáneo y dialogan con rigor, con gracia, con un humor que ilumina y con la rara capacidad de convertir siglos de historia en una lectura vertiginosa y fascinante.

De la leyenda de Rómulo y Remo al Imperio de Augusto, de la expansión helenística tras Alejandro al conflicto entre los Macabeos y los seléucidas, del choque entre paganos y judíos a la figura irrepetible de Jesús, este libro excepcional guía al lector por los reinos, guerras, mitos, manuscritos y hallazgos arqueológicos que explican por qué el cristianismo primitivo no fue un accidente sino la consecuencia natural —y asombrosa— del encuentro entre pueblos, lenguas y creencias.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Son of Man is a brilliant exploration of the world that existed before the Gospel. A lucid, erudite, and deeply entertaining book that shows how history—when told with passion and precision—can become a revelatory experience of who we are.

With extraordinary clarity and dazzling scholarship, Juan Esteban Constaín reconstructs the setting in which the religion that would forever change the course of humanity emerged. Greece, Rome, and Second Temple Judaism come together here as rarely seen in contemporary nonfiction, engaging in dialogue with rigor and elegance, illuminated by humor and by the rare ability to turn centuries of history into a fast-paced and fascinating read.

From the legend of Romulus and Remus to the Empire of Augustus; from the Hellenistic expansion after Alexander to the conflict between the Maccabees and the Seleucids; from the clash between pagans and Jews to the singular figure of Jesus, this exceptional book guides the reader through kingdoms, wars, myths, manuscripts, and archaeological discoveries that explain why early Christianity was not an accident, but rather the natural—and astonishing—consequence of the encounter between peoples, languages, and beliefs.
