title: From Son to High Priest: The Christological Rhetoric of Hebrews

creator: Thiele, David H

subject: Bible . Hebrews ;Jesus Christ -- Priesthood

description: Abstract reads : "This thesis deals with the Christology of the book of Hebrews, specifically the relationship between the Christological categories of “Son” and “high priest”. It is argued here that the rationale for the introduction of a priestly Christology has been insufficiently considered in previous scholarly work on Hebrews Furthermore, in previous studies insufficient consideration has been given to the way in which the interrelationship of the categories of sonship and priesthood functions in the rhetorical structure of Hebrews. This thesis argues that a form of “second Adam” Christology lies behind the Christological thought of Hebrews. It consequently endeavours to establish the rationale for the introduction of priestly Christology by exploring those “second Adam” ideas."
