This may well be the most important book about New Testament Christology to appear in recent years. Written in an era when it has become increasingly popular to insist that Jesus is already depicted as a preexistent figure in the Synoptic Gospels - one who is absorbed into the 'divine identity' and thus at least hinted to be 'fully God' - Daniel Kirk makes a persuasive case for viewing the depiction of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, and Luke as one of an idealized human figure. His argument is likely to stand the test of time and become a focal point for ongoing debates and new research in the years and decades to come.
