Seeing the Lord's Glory : Kyriocentric Visions and the Dilemma of Early Christology

The "dilemma of early Christology," the author observes, is found in the early Christian claims to have "seen the Lord" and "beheld his glory" - expressions that in early Judaism would have pointed unequivocally to visions of Israel's God. He also examines the phenomenon of "kyriocentric" visions in Second Temple Judaism.
