When the early Christians mentioned God, they had to mention Jesus as well, and whenever they mentioned Jesus, they felt constrained to mention God in the same breath. It’s like God was Jesified and Jesus was Godified.13 For this reason, a number of scholars have spoken about a “christological monotheism.” The God of Israel is revealed in, through, and even as the Lord Jesus Christ. Of course, to say that monotheism has been revised raises some good questions about monotheism itself.
