THE LATER NEW TESTAMENT WRITERS AND SCRIPTURE - 4 Hebrews and Scripture
by SPCK-Steve Moyise
4 Hebrews and Scripture The Letter to the Hebrews contains around 37 explicit quotations, drawn mainly from the Psalms (16) and the Pentateuch (13), with comparatively few from the Prophets (6). In the light of the rest of the New Testament, it is surprising that there is only on…

Hymn: Like some tsunami pulling back Proper 19 Year A Exodus 14: 19 – 31; Exodus 15: 1b – 11; Psalm 114 Like some tsunami pulling back, the sea piled up, the ground was dry. The Hebrews saw a way across, a way to flee, a way to fly. Egyptians followed in their wake, but all at on…

Picking Up the Story EXODUS 1: 1-14 As I write in the month of May, the TV series are running down or working their way to the kind of cliffhanger I referred to in the introduction, hoping to keep us in suspense for the fall: “Get out of that problem/threat”! One or two long-runn…

The 3 a.m. Scream EXODUS 12: 28- 13: 16 It was midnight, not 3 a.m., but in the Western world where we organize our own time rather than following nature’s time, midnight is not the middle of the night; it is about the time I put out the light. So think of yourself as having been…

Knowledge and Acknowledgement EXODUS 9: 1-21 Eventually Pharaoh’s ministers of state see the point and surely risk their lives with the boldness of their confrontation of Pharaoh: “Do you not yet acknowledge that Egypt is lost?” (10:7). Can he not see they are like animals caught…

the historical character of Jesus - 5c Identity: Jesus – the human “high priest”
by SPCK - David Allen
Identity: Jesus – the human “high priest” It remains the case, though, that Jesus’ humanity is fundamental to the epistle’s message and intrinsic to the efficacy of his high-priestly activity. Indeed, one might argue that, of all the canonical nonevangelical testimony (and maybe …

the historical character of Jesus - 5 “The sacrificial high priest”: Jesus in Hebrews
by SPCK - David Allen
“The sacrificial high priest”: Jesus in Hebrews In many ways, the ambience or ‘feel’ of Hebrews is fundamentally different from that of the rest of the NT, making it ‘almost certainly the most mysterious text to have been preserved in the NT canon’.1 Its focus on sacrifice, new c…

Reflection/Meditation: My Father’s Way
by Marjorie Dobson
