Brothers+ The website biblica is back on line with a number of worth while articles. I found the article "Son of God in Roman Imperial Titles and Matthew" helpful in regard to a sermon and study on "the Coin" used by Jesus in confronting the Jews who were attempting to trap him. There is reference to images in Judea at the time of Jesus as well as an indication that Jews in the first century would have been aware that "Son of God" was a title used by the Caesars. Thus when Jesus was called Son of God, Jews were aware it did put him and his followers at odds with Rome. http://biblica.bsw.org Son of God in Roman Imperial Titles and Matthew Robert L.
