Reexamining Resurrection and the Resurrection Faith of Jesus for Himself and His Siblings in Hebrews
What will be argued in this article is that Jesus’ faith and resulting faithfulness is his faith in his resurrection by God. Because God is the one who raises the dead, faith in God’s promise to resurrect both Jesus and his siblings is at the heart of inspiring faithfulness in Hebrews. Thus, the exalted Jesus continues to exercise this faith in God’s deliverance of his siblings from death at the eschaton. To make this case, the affirmation of res…
Strengthened by Grace and Not by Foods
This study interprets the numerous veiled references of Hebrews 13:7–14 against the general problem addressed in the body of the speech, namely, the temptation to apostasy posed by the idolatrous, imperial culture. Specifically, the authors of this study argue that Heb 13:9 warns against idolatry and allegiance to pagan, imperial power broadly, and that the whole of 13:7–14 is a summons to embrace suffering by rejecting such identification in vie…
Inventing Hebrews
Choosing What Is Advantageous
This study examines deliberative syncrisis and its relationship to epideictic syncrisis in Hebrews, with a view to addressing the question of whether the rhetoric of Hebrews is ultimately epideictic or deliberative in its overall tenor and aim. Building on a previous study of epideictic syncrisis in Hebrews, the study argues that epideictic syncrisis is consistently in service in Hebrews to deliberative syncrisis, providing it with both the logic…
The Encomiastic Topics of Syncrisis as the Key to the Structure and Argument of Hebrews
This study examines comparison in Hebrews in the light of ancient rhetorical theory of syncrisis, identifying five epideictic syncrises: the messengers/angels vs. Jesus (1.1-14; 2.5-18), Moses vs. Jesus (3.1-6), the Aaronic high priests vs. Jesus (5.1-10), the Levitical priestly ministry vs. the Melchizedekian priestly ministry (7.1-10.18), and Mt. Sinai vs. Mt. Zion (12.18-24). The study shows that these comparisons collectively function as a si…
The ‘Seven’ Last Words
Luke 23.34a, ‘Father forgive them for they know not what they do’, has been a textual conundrum in text criticism. The weight for the external evidence points to the probability that this logion of Jesus from the cross was not in the earliest manuscript of Luke. What motivation then led to this saying being added to the text of Luke? In this article, the argument is made that a numerical motivation is at the heart of the addition. Luke 23.34a was…
