New Testament Christological Hymns : Exploring Texts, Contexts, and Significance

---

Outline: We know that the earliest Christians sang hymns : Paul encourages believers to sing "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs." And at the dawn of the second century, the Roman official Pliny names a feature of Christian worship as "singing alternately a hymn to Christ as to God." Are some of these early Christian hymns preserved for us in the New Testament? Scholars have long debated the answer. Where some see preformed hymns and liturgical elements embossed on the page, others see patches of rhetorically elevated prose from the author's hand. The author now reexamines this fascinating question, beginning with a look at hymns in the Greco-Roman and Jewish world of the early church. Might the didactic hymns of those cultural currents set a new starting point for talking about hymnic texts in the New Testament? If so, how should we detect these hymns? How might they function in the New Testament? And what might they tell us about early Christian worship? An outstanding feature of hymnic texts such as Phillippians 2, Colossians 1, and John 1 is their christological character. And if these are indeed hymns, we encounter the reality that the deepest and most searching texts of the New Testament arose within the crucible of worship.
