A Greek perspective can be brought to bear courtesy of
chapter 3 of Gregory Riley, One Jesus, Many Christs.
I know the question is about Jewish sources, but I found
this chapter one of the most interesting and suggestive
things I've read in a long time. The material there in fact
problematizes an exclusively Jewish approach to the topic.
