A study of how the earliest Christians came to understand Jesus, published by InterVarsity Press in 1976, with an updated edition from Apollos and InterVarsity in 1990. Marshall examines the titles applied to Jesus in the New Testament and argues that the church's christology has its roots early, in Jesus himself and the first preaching about him, rather than in a later Hellenistic stage. The book draws on his earlier articles on the Son of Man and the divine sonship of Jesus and stands with his later essays collected in Jesus the Saviour.
