You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

And here I was hoping they would just say just use "The Man" instead of "Son of Man".
I wanted 'the bloke', but we can't all have our way...
Dr. Bird, I've heard it translated this way before, and I believe that there was an obscure translation in the mid 1990s that used "the human one". I remember Al Kresta, a relatively well-known and knowledgeable Roman Catholic radio commentator discussed this, and such things as "God's right hand" becoming "God's mighty hand" so as to not offend left handed people. He went on to propose that perhaps Lot's wife should have been changed into not a pillar of salt, but perhaps a salt substitute.
Thank you, CEB folks, for interpreting rather than translating!!
