<p> Provocative and valuable. -- Journal of Ecumenical Studies

An important corrective to the view that tends to interpret New Testament Christology in terms of Nicaea and later developments, thereby missing the Jewish intertextual and hermeneutical keys to interpreting many New Testament texts. Review of Biblical Literature A provocative challenge to the 'Early High Christology Club.' Journal for the Study of the New Testament This work puts forward a compelling thesis, questioning the default assumption that what separated first-century Jews and Christians was the Christian elevation of Jesus of Nazareth to divine status as equal with YHWH. McGrath shows decisively that this was not so, arguing with clarity and force and engaging the relevant bodies of primary and secondary literature with precision. A significant and useful book. Paul J. Griffiths, author of Lying: An Augustinian Theology of Duplicity
