Opis

This volume is the first to investigate manifestations of faith in the Book of Hebrews across four dimensions: ethical, eschatological, Christological, and ecclesiological. The author of Hebrews presents faith as enduring suffering until death, after which there is life. Jesus embodies this story of faith, and humans participate in it as his followers.
