So Great A Salvation

The following book has now been published:

Laansma, Jon C., George H. Guthrie, and Cynthia Long Westfall. So Great a Salvation: A Dialogue on the Atonement in Hebrews. Library of New Testament Studies 516. London: Bloomsbury T&T Clark, 2019.

Description from the website:
"This volume presents a dialogue between historians, exegetes, and theologians on the background and key themes of the atonement in Hebrews. Presenting a range of differing perspectives and contributing to the renewed conversation between biblical and theological scholarship, the argument is structured in two parts: contexts and themes within Hebrews.

Focusing on atonement not only in the Old Testament but also in the Greco-Roman world, and touching on themes such as sacrifice, plight and solution, and faith, these contributions shed light on the concept of the atonement in a directly scriptural way. The whole is a definitive collection of studies on the atonement in Hebrews that will be of service well beyond the confines of Hebrews' specialists, a collection as important for what it says about the atonement and the 21st century church as for what it says about Hebrews."
