The Jewish Roots of Christological Monotheism,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Jewish Roots of Christological Monotheism: Papers from the St. Andrews Conference on the Historical Origins of the Worship of Jesus (Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism) (Hardcover)
Although there are many studies of Second Temple Judaism (in general) and of Christianity's relationship with Judaism (in particular), there has not been a sustained and comprehensive investigation in the way in which Christ-devotion in the first two centuries of the common era represents a manifestation of Jewish monotheism.
This volume fills this gap in four distinct ways: by re-examining the theological force of "monotheism" during the Second Temple period; by retracing the historical steps of Christianity's adaptation/mutation/re-definition of Jewish monotheism; by exploring and debating the influences of non-Jewish traditions on this process; and by mapping the ways in which Christianity's unique appropriation of Jewsish monotheism helps explain the intriguing relationships among emerging Christian, Jewish and Gnostic communities. |
