    Lec 21 - Interpreting Scripture: Hebrews

    "Lec 21 - Interpreting Scripture: Hebrews" Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152) There are many ways of interpreting the text, and ancient methods of interpretation may seem bizarre to our modern sensibilities. The New Testament offers us many examples of how an early Christian might interpret the text of the Hebrew Bible, which was their scripture. The Letter to the Hebrews, which is not really a letter but a speech of encouragement, structures its argument around the thesis that Jesus' liturgy and priesthood is superior to that in the Hebrew Bible. The author of Hebrews proves this through several interesting interpretations of passages from the Hebrew Bible. 00:00 - Chapter 1. What Does A Text Mean? Methods of Interpretation 14:23 - Chapter 2.
