I believe that the following bibliography for the study of Christology was compiled by some of the faculty at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Strongly Recommended Texts:
Denney, J. The Death of Christ. Tyndale,1951; Paternoster, 1997.Green, J. B., and M. D. Baker. Recovering the Scandal of the Cross. Paternoster, 2000.
Hawthorne, Gerald F., and Ralph P. Martin, eds. Dictionary of Paul and His Letters. Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1993
I. H. Marshall, The Origins of New Testament Christology (IVP, 19902)
Reference:
There are important articles on most of the key terms in the four IVP reference volumes: the required Dictionary of Paul and his Letters (DPL), as well as Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels (DJG), Dictionary of the Later New Testament and its Developments (DLNTD), and Dictionary of New Testament Background (Consult all 4 volumes, since sometimes a topic is covered in more than one volume). See also the articles in NIDNTT (not quite so up-to-date and patchy) and the more technical articles in TDNT.

Darrell Bock has recommended Reinventing Jesus which was authored by Daniel B. Wallace, M. James Sawyer, and J. Ed Komoszewski,
It is a solid walk through the trustworthiness of Scripture dealing with such issues as oral tradition, the criteria of authenticity, issues tied to textual criticism, the canon, and the issues tied to myth, as well as a walk through the early texts on Jesus’ deity. It is accessible and very well done. For those who want orientation to issues tied to these questions, this is a good source.
The following books on Christology are recommended in the publication Beginning Your Theological Library published by the Criswell College.
Darrell Bock has recommended the four volume set written by Michael Brown on Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus as “a wonderful resource for study of the relationship between Christianity and Judaism.” I personally own the first three volumes of this set and I gladly add my recommendation to his.
