Dear Chris Tilling, you stated, "And, very important for
Dunn, the absence of any evidence that Paul's Christology itself was opposed by his Jewish (-Christian) opponents (unlike his position on the Torah) tips the scales against reading too high a Christology in Paul."

You probably know from reading Larry Hurtado's tome, 'Lord Jesus Christ' that this point of non-opposition to Paul's Christology by his Jewish-Christian critics actually favours a high Christology contra Dunn. Hurtado argues that this (Paul's Christology), was not a subject of debate for them as was the Torah because the absence of any opposition to this belief revealed rather a common acceptance of such a high Christology by the earliest Jewish Christians.

Best wishes in your doctoral research.
