Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the conspicuous absence of the title or name āSoterā in reference to Jesus during the first decades of Christianity. Despite the term's prevalence in religious language and its relevance to Jesus' mission, it was conspicuously absent as a title for him in early Christian writings. The author traces the usage of the term 'Soter' in Jewish scriptures, other Jewish literature, and the religious life of the Roman Empire, showing that it was primarily associated with God and not typically applied to the Messiah. The book explores the reasons behind this avoidance of the title 'Soter' for Jesus, considering both internal Christian factors and external influences from the surrounding religious environment. The author presents evidence from the Gospels, Pauline writings, and other early Christian literature to demonstrate the consistent omission of the term 'Soter' in reference to Jesus during the earliest stages of Christianity. This omission is particularly striking given Jesus' emphasis on salvation and his perceived role as a savior figure. The book then examines the gradual emergence of 'Soter' as a title for Jesus, tracing its development from a descriptive term to a definite title and eventually an absolute name. The author discusses the influence of Gnostic and other non-canonical Christian groups in popularizing the term and explores the reasons for its eventual widespread adoption within the Christian community. Through a meticulous examination of historical and literary sources, the author offers valuable insights into the development of Christology and the reasons behind the delayed application of the title 'Soter' to Jesus. This book's findings shed light on the complex and evolving nature of early Christian thought and provide a deeper understanding of the historical context in which Christianity emerged.
