The early followers of Jesus drew from Jewish and Greco-Roman
traditions and titles to help them understand and articulate who
Jesus was. This book opens a window into the Christology of the
first century by helping readers understand the eleven most
significant titles for Jesus in the New Testament: Lord, Son of
Man, Messiah, Prophet, Suffering Servant, Son of God, Last Adam,
Passover Lamb, Savior, Word, and High Priest. The authors trace the
history of each title in the Old Testament, Second Temple
literature, and Greco-Roman literature and look at the context in
which the New Testament writers retrieved these traditions to
communicate their understanding of Christ. The result is a robust
portrait that is closely tied to the sacred traditions of Israel
and beyond that took on new significance in light of Jesus Christ.
This accessible and up-to-date exegetical study defends an early
"high" Christology and argues that the titles of Jesus invariably
point to an understanding of Jesus as God. In the process, it will
help readers appreciate the biblical witness to the person of
Jesus.
