Reviewed by Jacobus van Straaten -
If you don't have the time to read Hurtado's 'Lord Jesus Christ' but are interested in the outcome of his research this is the book to read. In short he argues that contrary to the idea that Jesus' divinity evolved into him becoming divine, almost (or probably) something happened after his death which made early Christians to be devoted to him almost instantaneously. The book is very thought provoking. It is compiled from articles Hurtado wrote over some time. This makes it easy readable. You are also not forced to read the chapters in order.
