Legitimation in the Letter to the Hebrews
Author : Iutisone Salevao
Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
Page : 457 pages
File Size : 46,80 MB
Release : 2002-07-01
Category : Religion
ISBN : 0567495361
Book Description
This book adopts an inter-disciplinary approach to the study of the theology, symbolism and argument of Hebrews. Employing sociological models, the book examines Hebrews in the context of the early Christians' construction and maintenance of a social world. In that respect, the book elaborates the thesis that Hebrews was designed to serve a legitimating function in the realm of social interaction, that its theology, symbolism and argument were designed to construct and maintain the symbolic universe of the community of the readers. It is argued that we cannot properly understand the theology, symbolism and argument of Hebrews apart from its first-century context.

Book Description
This analysis of St Justin's approach in appealing to the Romans functions as both a fascinating historical exploration of what Haddad argues is the work of the founder of effective apologetics, and as a sourcebook for study for Christians who must defend their faith-just as St Justin's work itself in the second century AD.
