Hebrews Highlights January 2016

After several months of relative neglect, Hebrews has received considerable attention this month among the biblioblogs:

Mitch Chase talks about Prophet, Priest, and King in Hebrews 1. He also avers that Jesus evinced Reverence, Not Rebellion, in the Garden of Gethsemane.

David Alan Black shares his musings after Reading Hebrews in the Good News Bible.

Black's post prompted a response by Henry Neufeld on Identifying Extremes - Examine Everything.

Phillip Long has started a series on Jewish Christian Literature, which covers Hebrews through Revelation. The initial posts are not primarily about Hebrews but touches on it from time to time. Introduction. Jewish Christian Literature and High Christology. Jewish Christianity according to N.T. Wright. Jewish Christian Literature and the Law.

Long gets to a more detailed analysis of Hebrews with discussions on Hebrews and the Shame of Suffering; Moses, the Servant in 3:1–6; An Exhortation to Righteousness in 3:7–19; Jesus as High Priest in 4:14–16; Why Does Hebrews Call Jesus a Priest? in 5:5–10; and Old Israel, New Church? in Hebrews 8–9.

Matt Capps has a brief video noting that The Book of Hebrews Points Us to Jesus. The video is meant to promote his 12-week study on Hebrews.
