Did Paul teach that Jesus was divine and should be worshiped as such? How should this be viewed in relation to Jewish and Jewish-Christian monotheism? The debate over these and related questions has been raging in academic circles -- but it also has profound implications for church practice.
In this book Chris Tilling offers a fresh contribution to the long-running debate on whether or not Paul s Christology is divine. Refocusing the debate on the exegetical data and reengaging more broadly with the sweep of themes in Paul s letters, Tilling s innovative contribution is one that cannot be ignored."
