What are They Saying about the Letter to the Hebrews?Paulist Press, 2005 - 96 páginas Arguably the greatest Christian sermon ever written, yet one of the more neglected and difficult writings in the New Testament, the Letter to the Hebrews is, writes Daniel Harrington, "a long reflection on Jesus as the definitive means of access to God." In this survey of recent scholarship about Hebrews published since 1975, the author informs prospective students of resources available to them and what progress has been made in scholarship. As an introduction, the book highlights works that illumine the text in its first-century setting--commentaries, setting, structure, and authorship. Then it discusses Hebrews' use of the Old Testament--its hermeneutical stance and use of biblical figures. Finally, the book treats the theology of Hebrews and some of its major themes. Biblical scholars, theologians, students, and pastors will find this work to be stimulating and enriching on the biblical, theological, and pastoral levels. + |
