Son

The concept of 'Son' in the Bible primarily refers to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is central to Christian theology as the second person of the Trinity. The term also encompasses the relationship between God and humanity, particularly in the context of adoption as children of God.

The term 'Son' carries significant weight in both Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts. In Judaism, the concept of sonship is tied to covenantal relationships, while in the Greco-Roman world, it often referred to authority and inheritance.
