Episode notes
Post-Destruction Hebrews
- Hebrews was likely written after the temple's destruction, despite present-tense language about temple practices.
- This challenges previous scholarship and suggests a focus on a new form of Judaism centered on Jesus.
Authorship of Hebrews
- The author of Hebrews is unknown, with modern scholarship rejecting Pauline authorship.
- Priscilla is a compelling candidate, potentially explaining the anonymous nature due to gender in the context.
Jesus as Fulfillment
- Hebrews presents Jesus not as introducing something new but as the ultimate fulfillment of existing Jewish traditions and figures.
- Jesus is portrayed as a better version of everything held dear in the Levitical system, offering a clearer path.
