This is not a Greek question, but I don't know where else to turn, 
as I've queried seminary bookstores and libraries with no luck so 
far. In fact, I think I recalled reading/hearing about it here (or 
maybe not).

A few months ago, a book was published (by I think a known publisher like Brill or T&T Clark or Oxford) in which the author 
proposes or establishes that worship of Jesus as divine/Divinity 
was an EARLY event in church history. The author had published this 
book (different title?) maybe 15 years before, and this was an 
update/rewrite/expansion.

I think he says that Jewish/Hebrew angelology in the first century 
or before allowed the elevation of Jesus to a place of being 
worshiped, and was not so radical that it would have required 
centuries to come about. He shows that the worship of Christ as 
Divinity was a first-century event, and not a later development in 
the Church.

CAN ANYONE recall the title and author? Please e-mail me OFF LIST.
