Reviews..".Very informative, interesting and revolutionary...I know of few recent books which promote our understanding of early Christology so much as this volume.", 'How monotheistic Judaism could be the cradle of belief in the divinity of Jesus is one of the perennial problems of the study of Christian origians...Many studies of the subject over the years leave many obscurities in the story of the development at this crucial stage, and lack of evidence conspires with Christian tendencies to claim too much and Jewish tendencies to allow too little so as to bedevil the discussion...Professor Hurtado's account of the matter is admirable, clear-cut and credible."-Theology, 'The first edition of this book appeared in 1988 and it has proved immensely influential in the past decade. The new edition [...] adds a substantial introduction that considers recent developments, many of them responses to the original book, and also clarifies the original thesis. This is an important book for serious students of the New Testament and of Christian doctrine.' -Leslie Houlden, Temple Balsall, Theological Book Review, 'How monotheistic Judaism could be the cradle of belief in the divinity of Jesus is one of the perennial problems of the study of Christian origiansâ€¦Many studies of the subject over the years leave many obscurities in the story of the development at this crucial stage, and lack of evidence conspires with Christian tendencies to claim too much and Jewish tendencies to allow too little so as to bedevil the discussionâ€¦Professor Hurtado's account of the matter is admirable, clear-cut and credible."-Theology, "Whereas in times past the general tendency in studies of Christology was to focus upon the various titles of Christ, Hurtado has travels what seems to me to be a much more rewarding path of inquiry, namely the cultic devotion to Christ in early Christianity....I think it fair to describe One God, One Lord as a fantastic piece of scholarship, a seminal contribution to the field that sparked an important conversation that has continued in the twenty years since its original release....If you are a student of Christology then this book needs to be in your personal library. If you are a fan of clear writing and sound scholarship then Larry Hurtado is an author you need to add to your reading list....This is certainly worth the read!" - Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, 'It is one of the merits of Hurtado's work that he wrote at a length and level that makes his work accessible to New Testament students who are not likely to have time to plough through the more technical monographs. The decision to republish his book (which was most difficult to obtain in this country) is most welcome and ensures that his distinctive contribution to the debate will now be widely available.' -I. Howard Marshall, International Journal of Systematic Theology, '... very informative, interesting and revolutionary ... I know of few recent books which promote our understanding of early Christology so much as this volume.' -Martin Hengel, 'Professor Hurtado traces the rise of ideas of Christ's divinity to Jewish sources. He shows that Christians naturally relied on Jewish concepts of a principal angelic helper to God to understand the meaning of Jesus' mission ... Christians worshipped their mediator figure, thus ensuring an eventual break with Judaism ... one of the most interesting Christologies of the decade.' -Alan F. Segal
