“It is thirty years since Larry Hurtado's first book on early Christian devotion to Jesus burst upon the scene--and changed everything scholars previously assumed about the development of Christology and even Christianity itself. Over the last three decades, Hurtado has followed that up with ever larger and more detailed volumes, demonstrating the evidence for his view that the first Christians, despite their Jewish identity, worshipped Jesus alongside God the Father. In this little book, Hurtado sets out the steps of his main argument clearly and logically with admirable precision and conciseness, undergirded by years of scholarship and setting it within current academic debate. This book is a godsend (literally!) to the thinking believer and the inquiring searcher alike--and is greatly to be welcomed and applauded.”
