Hebrews Robert C. Newman Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Authorship of Hebrews Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Variety of Views on Author Paul Paul & Luke Paul & Clement of Rome Luke Barnabas Apollos Other Less Likely Suggestions Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Internal Evidence on Author Explicit indications Associate of Timothy Not one of the original 12 apostles Appears to be one author, male Content Similarities to Paul Differences from Paul Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Internal Evidence on Author Style More Hellenistic than (other) Pauline letters Differences in phrasing Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

External Evidence on Author Hebrews is attested as early as any NT work. The Alexandrian fathers all refer to it. Tertullian (c200) assigns it to Barnabas. Generally: The W churches denied Pauline authorship. The E churches favored it, w/ qualification. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Summary on Author Not Timothy! Most likely named candidate is Paul. But have to make special assumptions re/ its style "Not Paul" more likely, but no single candidate would gain more votes. God allowed knowledge of its author to be lost. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Recipients of Hebrews Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

The People Surely Jewish. Professing Christians. We can say a good bit about their circumstances. See under Background, later. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Their Location Usual suggestions: Rome Jerusalem Alexandria Antioch Critical passage (13:24) ambiguous "Those from Italy greet you" Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Their Location Rome   Jerusalem  Antioch Alexandria  Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Their Location Following Lenski, I favor Rome as the letter’s destination. Probably written to a Jewish house church in Rome facing Nero's persecution. In any case, the remark to greet all the other leaders (13:24) favors a subgroup within a larger whole, such as a house church in a city with many such. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Date of Hebrews Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Date of Hebrews Latest possible – 95 AD Must precede 1 Clement Earliest possible – well after 30 AD "heard" (2:3) implies church has secondary sources of information "considering the outcome of their lives" (13:7) sounds like original leaders have died, though possibly martyred Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Date of Hebrews More refinement attempted The temple is still functioning, so before 70 AD If the Timothy is Paul's companion, not till after 50 AD Apparently not safe (where recipients are) to be a Christian, but still safe to be a Jew If Rome, probably between 64 and 66 AD Other locations might have wider window Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Background of Recipients Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Their Conversion Apparently converted by immediate disciples of Christ (2:3), who had confirmed truth of their message by miracles (2:4) The writer is confident that they (most of them) are saved (6:9), in spite of his warning for their need to hold on (3:14) Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Their Christian Life & Ministry Had seen some persecution earlier Had been Christians long enough for their first leaders to die But recently they had stagnated Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Their Problem Knew the basics of Christianity, but were backsliding Were in severe danger of apostasy Not into paganism or some other heresy But into returning to Judaism Writer argues that Xy supercedes OT Jesus is the final mediator He typologically fulfills the OT sacrifices Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Outline of Hebrews Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Outline of Hebrews Prologue: God's revelation climaxes in his Son (1:1-4) Superior to the OT mediators (1:5-7:28) Angels (1:5-2:18) Moses (& Joshua) (3:1-4:13) Aaronic Priests (5:1-7:28) Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

Outline of Hebrews Superior to the OT provisions (8:1- 10:39) Better covenant (8:1-13) Better sanctuary (9:1-12) Better sacrifice (9:13-10:18) Exhortation & Final Plea for Faith (10:19-12:29) Concluding Exhortations (13:1-25) Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

The Argument of Hebrews See text in Course Notes Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org

The End Hebrews deserves a lifetime of repeated study Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks - newmanlib.ibri.org -newmanlib.ibri.org
