Did the First Christians Worship Jesus? The New Testament Evidence James D. G. Dunn In this fascinating exploration of the nascent stages of Christianity we know today, the author raises some fascinating yet vexing questions: What is worship? Is the fact that worship is offered to God (or a god) what defines him (or her) as "G/god?" What does the act of worship actually involve? The conviction that God exalted Jesus to his right hand obviously is central to Christian recognition of the divine status of Jesus. But what did that mean for the first Christians as they sought to reconcile God's status and that of the human Jesus? The questions are challenging but readers are ably guided in their quest for answers by James Dunn, one of the world's top New Testament scholars.
