Thereafter he moved to the Department of Religion at the [[University of Manitoba]] in Winnipeg, where he was promoted to full Professor in 1988 and taught until 1996.

▲Born in [[Kansas City, Missouri]] in 1943, he completed his PhD at [[Case Western Reserve University]] in 1973. His first academic appointment was at [[Regent College]] in [[Vancouver|Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], where he taught from 1975 to 1978.

Shortly after his appointment at the [[University of Edinburgh]], he established the [[Centre for the Study of Christian Origins]], which focuses on [[Early Christianity|Christianity in the first three centuries]].
He made significant advances in understanding Jewish Monotheism and early Christian devotion to Jesus. He was an authority on the Gospels (esp. [[Gospel of Mark]]), the [[Paul of Tarsus|Apostle Paul]], Early [[Christology]], the Jewish Background of the [[New Testament]], and New Testament [[Textual Criticism]]. He was perhaps most well known for his studies on the early emergence of a devotion to Jesus expressed in beliefs about Jesus sharing God's glory, and in a "devotional pattern" in which Jesus features prominently. Hurtado argued that this Jesus-devotion comprises a novel "mutation" in ancient Jewish monotheistic practice. In his later publications, he also urged greater awareness of the historical value of earliest Christian manuscripts as key physical artifacts of early Christianity, drawing attention to such phenomena as the [[nomina sacra]] (distinctive abbreviated forms of certain Greek words, e.g., ''Theos, Iesous, Kyrios, Christos''), the Christian preference for the codex bookform, and a number of other features.<ref>[http://www.div.ed.ac.uk/larryhurtado Staff Page] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090510023101/http://www.div.ed.ac.uk/larryhurtado |date=May 10, 2009 }}</ref>▼
