The Epistle to the Hebrews:

A Christological Homily

The Epistle to the Hebrews offers a challenge to preachers today. On the basis of the original text, Hebrews will be interpreted as a homily sent to Jewish-Christians who were about to undergo persecution. The structure of Hebrews is important in determining its theological significance. Special attention is given to the Christology, typology, sacramentology and structure of the Epistle. This seminar will explore the ramifications of Hebrews for preaching and teaching.

Pre-Course Reading Material:

Hebrews – The Anchor Bible (Craig Koester, New York: Doubleday, 2001)

Structure and Message of the Epistle to the Hebrews (A. Vanhoye, Roma: Editrice Ponti-cio Istituto Biblico, 1989)
