Dr. Bock,

I'm really enjoying this series and the subsequent debates.

If memory serves me right Bauchham argues simarily that the Jewish intermediary catergory is in and of itself insufficient to account for the early Christian Christology. I seem to remember his Anchor Bible Dictionary entry on the workship of Jesus addressing this, but I might be mistaken and instead thinking of his book God Crucified, or perhaps both deal with the topic, I'll have to double check when I get home. Regardless of my memory, are there any significant nuances between what you're arguing and what Bauckham is arguing?
