Participation and Hebrews

Hermeneutics and Christian Life in Christ

Participation and Hebrews cover

Description

In this book, Benjamin Ribbens illuminates a central unifying theme in the Biblical book of Hebrews: participation.

Across four sections (The Literal and Christological Senses; The Teleological Sense; The Tropological Sense; Soteriology), Ribbens brings together Hebrews scholarship with participatory exegesis, union with Christ, and a broad framework of participation. Such an emphasis on participatory exegesis-as outlined by Matthew Levering and Hans Boersma-resolves tensions within contemporary Hebrews scholarship, introducing a biblical studies methodology into theological inquiries. In doing so, Ribbens offers a fresh reading of Hebrews, building on on-going discussions within the field of the Hebrews' call for active participation in and with the divine.
