In recent years, there has been considerable debate concerning the
origin of divine Christology. Nevertheless, the proposed theories
are beset with problems, such as failing to address the evidence of
widespread agreement among the earliest Christians concerning
divine Christology, and the issues related to whether Jesus'
intention was falsified. This book offers a new contribution by
addressing these issues using transdisciplinary tools. It proposes
that the earliest Christians regarded Jesus as divine because a
sizeable group of them perceived that Jesus claimed and showed
himself to be divine, and thought that God vindicated this claim by
raising Jesus from the dead. It also provides a comprehensive
critique of alternative proposals, and synthesizes their strengths.
It defends the appropriateness and merits of utilizing
philosophical distinctions (e.g. between ontology and function) and
Trinitarian concepts for explaining early Christology, and
incorporates comparative religion by examining cases of deification
in other contexts.
