Son of God


"Son of God" is a phrase from the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), and the New Testament. In the holy Hebrew scriptures, according to Jewish religious tradition, it is related to many diverse subjects, as to angels, humans and even all mankind. According to most Christian traditions, it refers to the relationship between Jesus and God, as well as a relationship achievable by believing Christians. Similar terms were widespread during the life of Jesus, as Roman emperor Augustus was known as the "son" of the deified Julius Caesar.
