Messiah and exaltation
Dr Andrew Chester, of Cambridge University, has recently published a magnificently lucid, deeply learned and helpful volume entitled Messiah and exaltation: Jewish messianic and visionary traditions and New Testament Christology (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2007). I heartily recommend this to everyone interested in NT Christology.
The odd thing is, though I am in strong agreement with much of his reasoning, his treatment of the sources and his general methodology (apart from that in the fifth chapter: 'Messianism, Mediators and Pauline Christology'), I find myself parting company with him regularly as he draws his conclusions. However, while I find myself in general disagreement with quite a few of Fee's methodological choices and reasoning, I am much happier with many of his conclusions!
Figure that one out!

It probably just means that you are as prone as the rest of us to being more easily convinced by people who argue in favour of conclusions that fit our own world/God view, regardless of how dodgy their methodology may or may not be. :-)
Thanks for this heads up, Chris.
Ooh, Judy. Is she usually that saucy, Chris?
Pleasure, Jacob.
James, she does have these tendencies, yes. I blame the communion wine.
