The basic thesis of the heart of this important book on New Testament Christology is that worship of Jesus as God was seen by early Christ-believers as fully compatible with their Jewish monotheism. These Jewish believers in Jesus, argues Bauckham, believed that their Lord participated in the divine identity of the one God of Israel.
