Beschreibung
This study examines Ps 95 and its use in Heb 3-4 and 10-12, showing that its narrative world and exhortation is key to the argument of Hebrews. The beginning and end of Hebrews are examined to show how they fit with this argument. The study is applied to the new covenant. An historical review shows how a „new" reading of Hebrews is in fact ancient.
Hebrews is a book of riddles. Recent scholarship has arrived at an impasse over difficulties and apparent contradictions within the argument. A new look at Hebrews is needed. This book examines the use of Psalm 95 in Hebrews. The psalm recalls a narrative world and renews an exhortation that reoccurs throughout Israel’s history. Hebrews takes up this summons and the story behind it (Heb 3-4, 10-12) to urge its audience to be faithful. This exhortation unites God’s people past and present (Heb 1, 13). The results of this study are applied to the new covenant (Heb 8) and reveal that a reexamination of common assumptions about Hebrews are necessary. A review of the history of interpretation shows that while assumptions about Hebrews have an early beginning, they have not gone unchallenged.
