The Epistle to the Hebrews is often accused in academic and church statements of having a negative relationship to Judaism or of having promoted an anti-Jewish attitude throughout history. Yet contrary to this frequent criticism, neither Old Testament tradition nor the role of Israel is marginalised in Hebrews. In his exegetical study, Andreas-Christian Heidel shows that by rereading the letter’s overall theological testimony based on Heb. 11:39-40, an ecclesiological plan of the salvation of God can be expressed in analogy to Rom. 9-11. The aim of this plan is the eschatological unification of the one believing people of God, running through all ages, places and human identities as an invisible community. This unity is not jeopardised by the meaning and the confession of Jesus as Christ, but is in fact guaranteed by it.
Haufig wird dem Hebraerbrief in wissenschaftlichen sowie kirchlichen Verlautbarungen ein negatives Verhaltnis zum Judentum bescheinigt oder es wird ihm vorgeworfen, eine “judenfeindliche” Wirkungsgeschichte durch seine Theologie begunstigt zu haben. Doch anders als haufig kritisiert, wird die alttestamentliche Tradition sowie die Bedeutung Israels im Hebraerbrief gerade nicht marginalisiert. Vielmehr zeigt Andreas-Christian Heidel exegetisch auf, dass sich durch eine israeltheologische Relekture des theologischen Gesamtzeugnisses des Hebraerbriefs, ausgehend von Hebr 11,39-40, ein ekklesiologischer Heilsplan Gottes in Sachanalogie zu Rom 9-11 formulieren lasst. Dessen Ziel ist die eschatologische Vereinigung des einen glaubenden Gottesvolkes, welches sich durch alle Zeiten, Orte und menschliche Identitaten als ecclesia invisibilis hindurchzieht. Diese Einheit wird durch das Bekenntnis zu Jesus als Christus nicht infrage gestellt, sondern vielmehr darin verburgt.
