Two Hebrews Articles in the Journal, Ultimate Reality and Meaning

I just learned about two articles on Hebrews in the University of Toronto Press' journal, Ultimate Reality and Meaning. I have linked to these two articles in the Articles page.

Spicq, Ceslaus. “The Epistle to the Hebrews.” Ultimate Reality and Meaning 1.3 (1978): 181–92.
 

Buchanan, George Wesley. “Evaluation of the ‘Epistle to the Hebrews’ by C. Spicq.” Ultimate Reality and Meaning 1.3 (1978): 193–201.

Update

I have added about 3 dozen new articles, theses, and dissertations to my resource pages. I found many them on this site: CORE, which claims to be "the world's largest collection of open access research papers." It will take me some time to work through the database and add resources.

An Apology

I have been wondering why I have not been getting comments on my posts. Well, this evening I discovered that about a dozen comments were awaiting moderation on the blogger dashboard. In the past I have gotten notifications of comments through my email. I have now hopefully corrected this oversight. Your comments have now been posted and I have responded to some of them. I apologize for the oversight. I have not been ignoring you.
