The author was arguing a position that I was already convinced to be correct. So for me he was kind of "preaching to the choir".

That said, this book is a very thorough argument for early devotion to Jesus and has inspired me to look more closely at early Christion writings. ( )

In a book this size, it's impossible to agree with absolutely everything. But Hurtado's work is most welcome and mandatory reading for early Christianity! ( )
