Subject(s):
Contents:
The author's exegetical method and speech in Hebrews -- Intra-divine discourse (1) : the father addresses the son -- Intra-divine discourse (2) : the son responds to the father -- Extra-divine discourse : the Holy Spirit speaks to the community -- Divine discourse and the structure of Hebrews -- Conclusion.
Summary: "In this book, Madison Pierce analyzes the use of prosopological exegesis by the author of Hebrews in almost every major quotation of Scripture. She shows that the author uses Scripture in a consistent way that develops his characterization of God-Father, Son, and Spirit-and that results in a triune portrait of God in Hebrews. Offering a detailed reading of several passages, she also demonstrates how the author's portrayal of God is consistent with later theological developments. Pierce's method replaces atomistic approaches and allows readers to see a clear pattern of usage across the entire epistle. It offers researchers a tool for examining quotations of New Testament Scripture and will be of particular interest to those working in the field of trinitarian theology"--Page 4 of cover.
