An Argument That Paul's Usual Greeting "God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" Might Be A Christianized Form of the Shema

 

 

It is now commonly recognized by scholars that 1 Cor. 8:6 is a Christianized version of the Shema. It has become a central plank of the Early High Christology thesis held by many prominent scholars. Interestingly, the following article I've linked to below offers an argument for why the Apostle Paul's usual greeting "God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" might be a Christianized form of the Jewish Shema of Deut. 6:4 as translated from the Hebrew to the Greek of the Septuagint/LXX.
