Paul's Divine Christology by Chris Tilling
This study argues that Paul regarded Christ as truly divine, demonstrated not merely by abstract titles but by the lived, worshipful relationship believers and Paul himself have with Christ. Through close analysis of relational language, prayer, invocation, and “in Christ” formulations in the letters, it shows that Christ functionally occupies the place of Israel’s God in the communities’ devotion and identity. It challenges simple “high versus low” categories, engaging alternative models and proposing a relational approach to divine christology. The result is a portrait of early Christian monotheism reconfigured around the lordship of Christ without abandoning Jewish monotheistic commitments.
