Ancient Jewish Monotheism and Early Christian Jesus-Devotion
harvests from Larry W. Hurtado's lifetime of study of the New
Testament and the development of early Christianity. Hurtado's
career of historical and literary research spans forty years and
emphasizes both continuity and discontinuity in the origins of the
Christian faith. This volume displays Hurtado's command of the
nature, shape, and implications of Christ-devotion for
understanding Christian origins. Hurtado begins with the scholarly
framework for understanding Christ-devotionaengaging key figures
from Bousset and Bultmann to Bauckham and Wright. The next section
maps the first-century Jewish devotional, liturgical, and
theological contexts in which the early church and its worshiping
life first emerged. Phenomenological investigations follow that set
Christian innovation in the context of ancient Jewish monotheism,
focusing specifically on the experiential factors shaping early
Christian faith and devotional practices. The focus turns finally
to the surprising ways in which the innovative, Jesus-centered
beliefs and worship formed early Christian self-expression and
identity. The volume concludes with a survey of some significant
concrete implications of the distinctive dyadic devotional pattern
that erupted early and spread widely. Even as this collection
traces the historical narrative of Christian origins through the
lens of Christology and devotion, it also forms an inclusive
testament to one scholar's outstanding contributions to the ongoing
discussion of what made early Christianity powerfully unique in its
historical setting. Quintessential Hurtado, this volume is a
necessity for any attempt to understand the diversity of factors at
play in the birth of Christianity.
