The Divine Christ: Paul, the Lord Jesus, and the Scriptures of Israel (2018) is a book by David B. Capes.

Abstract

"For the past century, scholars have debated when and how a divine Christology emerged. This book considers the earliest evidence we have, the letters of Paul. David Capes, a veteran teacher and highly regarded scholar, examines Paul's letters to show how the apostle constructed his unique portrait of Jesus as divine through a rereading of Israel's Scriptures."--Publisher description.
