That is an interesting subject, if you're interested in the history of the development of the Christian subsect of Judaism.
First, it's a "hot subject" (or was for a while). In Judaism there were many divine beings, ... that didn't make them gods.
I'm not sure when scholars realized that, but a number of PhD theses were written about it, in the last 10 years.
(Now academia is interested in "later" dates than they thought for a lot of the OT.)
Anyway, the interesting thing is that the divinity of Jesus is different in the gospels.
In Mark, he was born a human only, and earned divinity. In Matthew and Luke he was a pre-existent being who gave up divinity, and took it back later.
In John, (with all the Gnostic influence) he was a divine being all along, but temporarily took on human form.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
