Over the last few decades scholarly interest in the Epistle to the Hebrews has experienced something of a renaissance. Focusing on three major sections of the Epistle to the Hebrews (chapters 1-2, 8-10, and 13), the essays in this volume offer fresh and illuminating insights into some of the most puzzling aspects of this early Christian text.
Over the last few decades scholarly interest in the Epistle to the Hebrews has experienced something of a renaissance. This volume, which grew out of presentations at the 2011-2013 sessions of the revived Hebrews program unit of the Society of Biblical Literature’s International Meeting, is a testament to the still growing interest in this text. The essays deal with a variety of issues in three major portions of Hebrews – chapters 1-2, 8-10, and 13. Each study analyzes an important and often disputed aspect of one of these three sections of Hebrews, aiming to provide fresh insight into how the argument of Hebrews and/or its engagement with its larger religious, social, literary, rhetorical, philosophical, and ethical contexts might be understood.
