The last time I wrote about Crispin Fletcher-Louis’ “monster book” The Divine Heartset: Paul’s Philippians Christ Hymn, Metaphysical Affections, and Civic Virtues I got a ticking off for not having read the whole book. I have since ordered the whole book—all 954 pages of it—but it’s lost in delivery, so I am still dependent on the 20% that can be previewed on Google Books. I need to get a book chapter finished this month and I would like to address a couple of issues that he raises. The question about the acquisition of divine honours is one of them, because it is a key part of my argument that Philippians 2:6 is a political-religious statement, not a theological statement.
