| Summary: | Susan Docherty argues that the Letter to the Hebrews can be better understood if it is read as an example of first century Jewish biblical interpretation, taking seriously the fact that it was written before the so-called "parting of the ways". Her study applies to key sections of Hebrews some of the highly sophisticated contemporary aproaches to analyzing the exegetical techniques present in the Jewish midrashim, in order to provide a new and more precise explanation of the interpretative techniques at work in Hebrews, and of the often neglected question of the author's underlying axioms about the nature of scripture. |
