Finding a catchy title for a book can be tricky. This is a superb study, as I shall show presently. But the title grates, does it not? It suggests ‘putting down’, whereas the authors’ intent, which they carry out to a fault, is to give Jesus his ‘rightful honour’, to do justice to the full range of biblical data regarding his undiminished deity. It has the following notable virtues.
It is written in a clear and lively way, well organised, and comprehensive. It is organised by means of the acrostic HANDS — Jesus shared the Honour, Attributes, Names, Deeds and Seat, of Almighty God. This may suggest a simplistic approach, but by using it Bowman and Komoszewski intend to indicate the book’s comprehensive scope.
