Only True God [EPUB ebook] 
Early Christian Monotheism in Its Jewish Context

Monotheism is a powerful religious concept shaped by competing ideas and the problems they raised. Surveying New Testament writings and Jewish sources from before and after the rise of Christianity, James F. Mc Grath argues that even the most developed Christologies in the New Testament fit within the context of first century Jewish monotheism. Mc Grath pinpoints when the parting of ways took place over the issue of God’s oneness, and explores philosophical ideas such as "creation out of nothing" which caused Jews and Christians to develop differing concepts and definitions about God.
