For marketing purposes, I need to answer questions about courses that might adopt the book as a textbook, journals and magazines that might usefully run an ad or draw attention to the book, scholarly list-servs and other such venues where it might usefully be discussed, and so on. The book is about early Christian Christology in the context of the Jewish \u201cmonotheism\u201d of that time, and interacts with the work of Dunn, Hurtado, <a href=\"http:\/\/kenschenck.blogspot.com\/2008\/05\/guest-post-by-jonathan-response-on.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bauckham<\/a>, Casey, Segal, <a href=\"http:\/\/unpresentable.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/28\/exploring-pauls-christological-monotheism-part-2\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Wright<\/a> and others.<\/p>\n<p>Although I have a lot of ideas already about who might find the book useful, perhaps even use it as a textbook for a course, it seems to me that one advantage of blogging is being able to ask for input from a wider audience that is potentially interested in this topic. So I\u2019m asking for your assistance. If you think you\u2019d like UIP to send you a mailing, or know someone who ought to be alerted when the book comes out, or teaches a course on the subject, or is currently researching the subject, then please let me know in a comment. Mention journals, magazines and other periodicals \u2013 who knows, I may have overlooked one! Are there any prizes for religion books that this could be submitted to? Any input is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>To help with this, I\u2019m posting the table of contents below.
