God Crucified

Contains the information necessary to understand the Jewish monotheistic belief system. The idea of Jesus as God was perfectly matched to this belief. You will see that the earliest study of Christ was the highest - Jesus is God. The exalted Christ as well as the human, crucified Christ pertain to the one identity of God. Bauckham explains that this belief has serious consequences in looking at the New Testament idea of God. The divine identity of Jesus is found in His humiliation, suffering and death as well as in His celestial glory.
