The message is appropriate because Muslim converts face pressure to deny their faith similar to the pressure felt by the recipients of Hebrews. Both groups share many religious ideas. The prominence of the hajj in Islam and the use of the pilgrimage motif as a description of the Christian life in Hebrews form a communication bridge. The hajj can be used to explain Hebrews' description of the Christian life and the various rituals which constitute the hajj can help explain the Christology which supports the description. |
