The Preexistent Son by P. Gathercole
Recovering the Christologies of Matthew, Mark, and Luke
Argues that Matthew, Mark, and Luke portray Jesus as a preexistent, heavenly figure rather than merely a man exalted after his resurrection. Through analysis of the “I have come” sayings, sending motifs, Son of Man and Wisdom traditions, and key parables (such as the vineyard tenants), it contends these Gospels assume his divine origin and mission prior to birth. It situates this reading within Second Temple Jewish thought, concluding that belief in Christ’s preexistence is early and integral to Synoptic Christology.
