| Summary: | "The Letter to the Hebrews is not really a letter, it does not name an author, and its title lacks specificity. Many of the rudimentary questions surrounding its intended audience, date, and provenance seem impermeable. Undeterred by these gaps, critical scholars have been transfixed by the anonymity of this text for more than a few centuries now, posing solutions with no foreseeable consensus. This historical-critical tradition has produced a litany of candidates for the author of this text who now live on as customarily recycled ideas in obligatory 'Introductory' genres for work on Hebrews. Rather than see anonymity as an unresolved problem, a lack in the text that needs to be righted, this book embraces anonymity as a vantage from which to obverse the Pauline history of Hebrews in a new way, that is, how Hebrews was made to be Pauline"-- Provided by publisher. |
