The last fifty years of Pauline scholarship have provided numerous insights to both the academy and the church. Some of those most important discussions have related to the question of Paul's view of Christ with respect to his divinity. While the landscape is rich with scholarly findings, it can be overwhelming to navigate the complex lines of argumentation and the interactions between various key scholars.

In The Divine Christology of the Apostle Paul, biblical scholars Chris Bruno, John Lee, and Thomas Schreiner explore the more detailed and often perplexing conversations concerning the divinity of Christ, bringing helpful guidance and clarity to scholars' various articulations, including those of:



- Richard Bauckham

- Larry Hurtado

- Chris Tilling

- N. T. Wright

- and others

After offering a cohesive and constructive understanding of such landmark studies, they then provide their own insights through theexegetical study of key New Testament passages related to Paul's Christology.

Filled with helpful charts, appendixes, and study aids, The Divine Christology of the Apostle Paul is an essential guide for any student, pastor, or scholarlooking for an insightful distillation of this key dimension of Pauline studies.
