I am also convinced that the project of constructive Christology should be properly attuned to, and informed by, the insights of New Testament scholarship. In addition, I am convinced that there are points at which both analytic theology and biblical scholarship might benefit from inter- action with one another. This book is born out of those convictions. Accordingly,Iemploytheresourcesofbothbiblicalscholarshipandanalytic Christology to make progress on some important issues in dogmatic Christology. Variouselementsofsomechaptershavebeenpreviouslypublished.Part ofChapter1canbefoundintheJournalofAnalyticTheology(2020).Partof Chapter4 was published in Caleb T. Friedeman, ed., Listen, Understand, Obey: Essays in Honor of Gareth Lee Cockerill (Eugene: Wipf and Stock, 2017). Part of Chapter5 previously appeared as “Professor Ward and Polytheism,” in Philosophia Christi (2016), and parts of Chapter6 were published in the Journal of Analytic Theology (2019). These are published withthegraciouspermissionoftheeditors. I am well aware—in fact, keenly aware—of my own limitations in this effort. I am neither an analytic metaphysician nor a Nuetestamentler; I am merely a systematic theologian. Accordingly, I owe much to the great companyofhistoricalandsystematictheologians,NewTestamentscholars, andanalyticphilosophersofreligionwhohavedonemuchtoguide,inform, correct,andencouragemeduringthisprocess.Whileofcourseallremain- ingerrorsandflawsaremyown,Iamespeciallyindebtedtothemembersof the Deerfield Dialogue Group: Doug Sweeney, Kevin J.
