New article:
Ch’ng, Adam. “Transposing Genre: Reading Hebrews 12:4–13 as Proverbial Wisdom.” Themelios 50.3 (2026): 512–26.
Abstract:
"By citing Proverbs 3:11–12 (LXX) in
Hebrews 12:5–6, the author of Hebrews transposes the wisdom genre of the
proverb into his broader exposition (12:4–13). This article integrates
and applies the theories of John Frow and Tremper Longman III, and
argues that the strong literary connections between the proverb and
Hebrews 12:4–13 indicate the incorporation of the wisdom genre.
Accordingly, Hebrews 12:4–13 should be read as proverbial wisdom, and
its characterisation of human suffering as divine discipline should be
understood not as a universal theodicy but as a circumstantial truth."
