So Great a Salvation: A Dialogue on the Atonement in Hebrews

Description

This volume draws together specially commissioned studies centered on Hebrews and the atonement. Presenting a range of differing perspectives, the volume is structured in two parts: historical trajectories and key themes within Hebrews.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. It serves as a resource for further study of Hebrews and the theology of the atonement. At the same time it contributes to the renewing conversation between biblical and theological scholarship Cover Title Copyright Content List of Abbreviations Notes on Contributors Preface and Acknowledgments Introduction Jon C.
