Abstract

This work, which bears the sub-title ‘The Epistle to the Hebrews as a New Testament Example of Biblical Interpretation’, appears as No. 36 in the Monograph Series of the Society for New Testament Studies. It is the reworking of a thesis prepared for the Cambridge degree of Ph.D. under the supervision of C.F.D.Moule; the author, a New Zealander, now lectures in the United Theological College, Sydney. The writer to the Hebrews shares the general attitude to the O.T. found in most of the N.T. documents, but he has his own individual way of interpreting and applying the O.T. against the background of that attitude. Dr Hughes finds the writer’s distinctive hermeneutical principles set out in his prologue: the Son is the new form of God’s ‘address’ to his people; with the coming of the Son the Word of God has been historicized; the Son is identical with the historical Jesus. Recalling the frequent observation that, apart from the gospels, no N.T. document shows more interest in the human Jesus than Hebrews does, Dr Hughes insists that Hebrews makes an important contribution to the quest for the historical Jesus. This has a bearing on the practical intention of Hebrews:
