I am sorry, but its ABSOLUTELY mainstream theology. I did my degree and Ph.D
in theology at Trinity College Cambridge and its very mainstream
interpretation.
Within the Aramaic dialelect bar nasha ( which you are quite correct " bar
"does mean son in Hebrew) is used to mean I think or this one thinks. ie
the son of man thinks ( ie I think , or this one thinks , or methinks even
to use old English)
