It was not unusual to be called Son of God in ancient Judaism. God calls David his son: "today I have begotten you" {Psalms 2:7}. He even calls Israel his "first-born son" {Exodus 4:22}. But in every case, Son of God is meant as a title, not a description. Paul's view of Jesus as the literal son of God is without precedence in second Temple Judaism.
