Phillip Long (it was nice to meet him in person at the most recent midwest regional) continues his series on Hebrews:
Leaving  Elementary Teachings Behind - Hebrews 6:1–3
Hebrews 6 and Eternal Security
Is It Really Impossible? - Hebrews 6
The Christ, the Unblemished Sacrifice - Hebrews 9:11–22

Ken Schenck muses about Hebrews and Works and the possible impact that the "new perspective" might have on the study of Hebrews.

A Comparison of 1 Maccabees 2 and Hebrews11,” which will appear in the forthcoming volume, Earliest Christianity within the Boundaries of Judaism: Essays in Honor of Bruce Chilton, published with Brill.
