A study of the hymnic and liturgical material in the New Testament
which describes Christ's nature and person. Professor Sanders
analyzes the hymns in detail and finds in them a common
mythological pattern. He traces its origin to a particular and
unorthodox branch of Judaism which is itself a branch of the
'wisdom' tradition where the thanksgiving hymn had its home. His
conclusions therefore have considerable importance and implications
for questions about the origins of Gnosticism and its influence on
Christianity. This is the full-scale historical religious study of
the New Testament Christological hymns, and English readers will
find particularly useful Professor Sanders' critical survey of
recent continental scholarship on this and related subjects.
