Old Testament Yahweh Texts In Paul's Christology by David B. Capes
This study argues that Paul consistently applies Old Testament passages originally referring to Israel’s God (YHWH) to Jesus, indicating that he understood Jesus to share in the divine identity. By analyzing citations and allusions in the Pauline letters—especially the Septuagint’s use of “Lord” (kyrios)—it traces a coherent pattern in which texts like Joel 2:32 and Isaiah 45:23 are reread christologically. The book clarifies Paul’s hermeneutical methods and criteria for identifying such Yahweh texts, and explores the implications for early Christian worship and monotheism. It concludes that a high Christology emerged within the earliest strata of the church.
