Divine Action in Hebrews and the Ongoing Priesthood of Jesus
Outline : Recent years have seen renewed interest in divine action, but much of the literature tends to focus on the science-theology discussion. Resulting from the multiyear work of the Scripture and Doctrine Seminar, part of the Kirby Laing Centre's Scripture Collective, this book explores the many different ways in which divine action is foregrounded and portrayed in one major biblical text, namely Hebrews. In the New Testament Hebrews is on par with Romans in terms of importance, but has too often been overlooked. However, as its name indicates, Hebrews overflows with Old Testament intertextuality, which also makes it a fertile ground for analysis of divine action stretching back into the Old Testament and opening out into different parts of the New Testament.
The essays in this volume:
⚫ rigorously work the interface of theology and exegesis, pertaining to Hebrews
⚫ offer an overview of the current state of discussion of divine action and the importance of exploring divine action in specific biblical texts, with special reference to William Abraham's recent four-volume work with OUP
⚫ provide an overview of the reception history of Hebrews in theologies of divine action
⚫ explore how divine action has played out in historical theology and what a retrieval of Hebrews for a theology of divine action might mean today
⚫ explore the relationship between the doctrine of God and divine action in Hebrews, including an engagement with classical theism
⚫ provocatively explore divine action in the Old Testament, creation, and eschatology in Hebrews
⚫ explore the major theme of divine action through the ongoing priesthood of Jesus as portrayed in Hebrews
⚫ relate divine action to preaching Hebrews today and to spiritual formation
