| Summary: | David Moffitt’s published version of his doctoral dissertation (completed at Duke under Richard B. Hays in 2010) presents a robust case for a bold thesis: far from being an oversight or deliberate omission, the resurrection is an essential presupposition in the Letter to the Hebrews and is in particular logically central to the text’s understanding of atonement., The first chapter sets out the modern scholarly consensus that the resurrection is all but absent from Hebrews. Moffitt identifies a common assumption that Hebrews operates with a two-stage death/exaltation model based on the importance of these two moments in Yom Kippur; this misunderstanding of sacrifice is addressed in chapter 4., Chapter 2 argues that Hebrews 1–2 presupposes the necessity of Jesus’ resurrection. |
