Apostolic Christology

As we look back on the whole course of the doctrine [of Christology], from the beginning, in the testimony of Jesus to Himself, down to the developed Christological doctrine of the New Testament, we can see no break anywhere. The whole Johannine teaching of Jesus the Son of God is simply a further development of that confession of Peter, which first became possible on the basis of the death of Jesus on the Cross, and the Resurrection. Everywhere Jesus is True Man, a man among men, and yet, in the very earliest records, He stands over against all other men with an authority which only God possesses. Rationalist historical criticism which maintained that there was a contradiction between the historical picture of Jesus and the Christ of apostolic theology cannot appeal to historical testimony for its statements. It was those who knew the “Jesus of History” best, His companions, who proclaimed Him as the Son of God, and as their Risen and Heavenly Lord.—Emil Brunner, The Christian Doctrine of Creation and Redemption, 251

Looks like Brunner is very firmly in the "early high-Christology" camp, doesn't it? I agree. I think the records very firmly endorse a very high Christology along the lines of what Larry Hurtado (among others) has written about.
