The Divine Christ by David B. Capes
Paul, the Lord Jesus, and the Scriptures of Israel
A concise study of how Paul’s letters present Jesus as sharing in the unique identity of Israel’s God, arguing that a “high” Christology emerged within the earliest decades of the movement. Through close readings of key passages (such as 1 Corinthians 8:6 and Philippians 2:6–11), attention to Old Testament YHWH citations applied to Jesus, and analysis of early devotional practices, it shows that names, roles, and honors reserved for God—creation, worship, prayer, and lordship—are attributed to Christ within a Jewish monotheistic framework.
