Episode notes

The author discusses the authorship of the book of Hebrews, suggesting that it is an anonymous text and that the focus should be on the rich perspective it offers about Jesus. He mentions that even some church leadership has started to speak in that direction. However, he emphasizes that the authorship question is not a major concern for the Latter-day Saint community, allowing them to appreciate the complexity and enjoy the unique perspective of the author.

Have you ever wondered about the significance of Jesus as our ultimate High Priest and atoning sacrifice? Dr. Matthew Grey explores the foundational and often overlooked concepts that shape Christianity and explains how Jesus Christ bridges the gap as our Advocate and High Priest.
