So Great a Salvation

This volume presents a dialogue between historians exegetes and theologians on the background and key themes of the atonement in Hebrews. Presenting a range of differing perspectives and contributing to the renewed conversation between biblical and theological scholarship the argument is structured in two parts: contexts and themes within Hebrews.<br/><br/>Focusing on atonement not only in the Old Testament but also in the Greco-Roman world and touching on themes such as sacrifice plight and solution and faith these contributions shed light on the concept of the atonement in a directly scriptural way. 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.
