Donald A. Hagner: Encountering the Book of Hebrews: An Exposition

Encountering the Book of Hebrews: An Exposition


Description

Although the Book of Hebrews "is not exactly what most of us would regard as a user-friendly book," notes Donald Hagner, "Hebrews has always been popular among Christians." "Encountering the Book of Hebrews" was written to help students more fully appreciate the complexities of this favorite section of Scripture. Hagner begins by exploring introductory issues (e.g., historical backgrounds, author, audience, date, purpose, structure, genre) and overarching themes (e.g., heavenly archetypes and earthly copies, the use of the Old Testament, the attitude toward Judaism). The heart of the book then offers a chapter-by-chapter exposition of Hebrews. Unlike commentaries, it does not try to be exhaustive--examining all details and answering all questions--but instead guides students to the issues that are most important for their study of this difficult book. Hagner concludes with a final look at the contribution of Hebrews to the New Testament, New Testament theology, the church, and the individual Christian. As with other volumes in the Encountering Biblical Studies series, "Encountering the Book of Hebrews" is designed for classroom use and includes a number of helpful features, including further-reading sections, key terms, chapter objectives, and outlines along with numerous sidebars and illustrations.

'This year an Anzac orgy begins. A commemorative program that would make the pharaohs envious. But commemorating soldiers is not the same as connecting with them ...' - James Brown, Anzac's Long Shadow. In Anzac's Long Shadow, James Brown, a former army officer and brilliant young thinker, describes how Australia is investing too much time, money and emotion in the Anzac legend. He argues that when a legend comes to dominate reality, there is always a price to pay. He shows that Australians spend a lot more time looking after dead soldiers than those who are alive. We focus on a cult of remembrance, instead of understanding a new world of soldiering and strategy. And we make it impossible to criticise the Australian Defence Force, even when it makes recurrent mistakes. None of this is good for our soldiers or our ability to contend with a changing world. With respect and passion, Brown shines a light on Anzac's long shadow and calls for change. 'Anzac has become our longest eulogy, our secular Encountering the Book of Hebrews: An Exposition download PDF sacred, our national story. A day where our myth-making paints glory and honour so thickly on the military that it almost suffocates them.
