From Jewish Prophet to Gentile God: The Origins and Development of New Testament Christology

Using original sources and scholarship, Casey traces the evolution of the historical figure of Jesus, the Aramaic-speaking Jew, through the Pauline epistles and the Gospels to his identification as Jesus Christ, the Messiah and Son of God. "Carefully developed historical analysis . . . (that) should contribute decisively to continuing Christological debate."--Harold W. Attridge, University of Notre Dame.
