I have followed your blog for a few years and see now that you have finished your dissertation. I was wondering if you could post it or email it to me if it is not under contract. You seem very well read in the epistle to the Hebrews and have done a marvelous job at bringing together so many resources. I would be very interested to read what you have written.
Hi Ray, thanks for following my blog. Currently, I have a publisher considering the dissertation, so I am reluctant to distribute it until I find out what the publisher wants to do. I hope you understand.
Dear Dr Small Just to say thank you for this magnificent website! I will be spending mush time following a rabbit trail through the wonderful resources you have brought to our attention. Kind Regards
Your e-mail form doesn't seem to work. Here are two links you may find of interest: http://www.bryandavismusic.com/chiasms & http://www.valdes.titech.ac.jp/~h_murai/bible/58_Hebrews-e.html
Thanks for letting me know. I think I have fixed the email form. Thanks for the links. While I acknowledge that chiasm is used in ancient literature, I think scholars often impose chiasms on texts which aren't there.
The title of this blog is taken from the opening words of the Greek text of the Book of Hebrews and may be translated "in many and various ways" (NRSV). This blog will explore the many and various ways in which the Book of Hebrews has been interpreted throughout the centuries.
Expect to see resources on Hebrews, reviews and summaries about articles and books on Hebrews, news about research in Hebrews, information about websites dedicated to Hebrews, and anything else pertinent to the study of Hebrews.

The picture in the heading is of P46, the oldest, extant manuscript containing the Book of Hebrews.
I completed my Ph.D. in New Testament at Baylor University in May 2012. I have taught undergraduate courses for Baylor University, Gardner-Webb University, Bluefield College, and the University of Kentucky, and I was an adjunct instructor for Wesley Seminary of Indiana Wesleyan University. Most recently I was an adjunct instructor in religion at Bethel University in Indiana. I am the author of "The Characterization of Jesus in the Book of Hebrews" published with Brill Academic Publishers. I am currently a United Methodist pastor in Grand Rivers, KY.
