NBST 515 Exam 3 Latest Update with complete solution
Significant event that occurred in 410 AD
Rome had fallen to Alaric's Goths. Roman pagans blamed Christians, who had been in
favor of Constantine. In the wake of such, Augustine wrote City of God.
Whether full canonical acceptance of Hebrews took place more quickly or more
slowly than the other New Testament writings.
More slowly - it struggled.
The two primary reasons Paul is widely rejected as the author of Hebrews.
Language is different from that in Paul's Letters - from vocab and style to imagery and
motifs.
Writer says he heard Gospel from those who received it from Christ (2:3), something
Paul denied.
Scholar known for his vigorous defense of the Lukan authorship of Hebrews.
D. L. Allen
Whether or not Hebrews is formally anonymous.
Yes
Whether or not the author of Hebrews likely expected his readers to know who he
was.
Yes - many personal references at the ending.
The NT collection in which Hebrews first circulated (Gospels, Pauline Epistles,
Catholic Epistles).
Pauline - showing some connection with Paul, whether meaning it was written by him or
just included in the circulation of his works from his own gathering.
The individual referred to in the conclusion of Hebrews
Timothy
Whether Christians embraced Hebrews more readily in the East or West.
East
Aside from the authorship issue, the major reason why some early believers were
reluctant to recognize Hebrews as a canonical writing.
Heb. 6:4-6 - interpretation and application, which refers to readmission into the church
by those who recanted of their faith when threatened with persecution.
Whether the author was likely Jewish or Gentile.
Jewish
The late-first century writing that makes reference to Hebrews
1 Clement 36:1-6
Whether Hebrews was likely written before or after the destruction of the temple,
according to the textbook.
Before
The best candidate for the destination of Hebrews.
Rome
The two major arguments for the original readers of Hebrews being Jewish
Christians.
Title - most likely dates to the book's inclusion in the Pauline Corpus. Title taken
seriously, pointing to Jewish readers absolutely. Use of OT in book.
What Heb. 13:22 may reveal about the literary genre of Hebrews.
, May be an example of a Hellenistic-Jewish synagogue sermon.
THe primary purposes of Hebrews.
Not merely to maintain believer's confession in the face of persecution but also to spur
them on to full maturity in Christ by holding fast to their confession.
The factors that support the notion that Hebrews originated as an oral work.
Author refers to himself in the first person. Author casts his activity as an act of
speaking, not writing. Alternates exposition and exhortation, which "allows an orator to
drive home points immediately without losing hearers' attention". Author introduces a
theme only to explain it later in his work.
Two reasons the recipients of Hebrews were to pay close attention to its
message, according to its author.
Lest they drift away or fall under the discipline of the Lord.
Type of relationship between Jesus and Christians that is emphasized in Heb. 2.
All "sons of God", therefore believers are the brothers of Jesus.
The Psalm used weekly in the Jewish synagogue and quoted in Heb. 3. Also know
which OT event this Psalm refers back to.
Psalm 95:7-11, reminds readers/ worshippers of the consequences of the rebellion as
recorded in Num. 13-14 (for they were about to receive God's blessings but did not
because they would not trust God).
Psalm alluded to frequently by the author of Hebrews when discussing Christ's
high priesthood.
Psalm 110:4
The name of the enigmatic OT character referred to by the author of Hebrews who
is said to have been a priest.
Melchizedek - high priest of the Most High God who received tithes from Abraham. His
name means "king of righteousness" and he was the "king of salem". Author exploits
silence of the OT and noted that Melchizedek had "neither beginning of days nor end of
life" because Genesis narrative where he is introduced mentions neither his birth nor his
death.
Three reasons Melchizedek was better qualified than Aaron to be priest,
according to Heb. 7:4-10.
Sons of Aaron collected tithes from their brothers, but Melchizedek blessed Abraham,
proving that he was Abraham's superior. Sons of Aaron died, but there is no mention of
Mel's death. Levi himself paid tithe to Mel.
The OT passage quoted at length in Heb. 8 when comparing the Old and New
Covenants.
Jer. 31:31-34.
Three exhortations given to the readers in Heb. 10:19-25 that provide the proper
response to Christ's establishment of the New Covenant.
Draw near to God with confidence, hold on to their confession without wavering,
exercise genuine care for other believers, spurring them on to love, good works, and
faithful fellowship.
The individual who serves as the primary OT example overcoming "by faith" in
Heb. 11.
Abraham
