{"product_id":"participation-and-hebrews","title":"Participation and Hebrews","description":"This book applies an approach of participatory exegesis to the book of Hebrews, illuminating one of its central, unifying themes: participation.   When interpreting Scripture, Hebrews depicts earthly and Old Testament realities such as sanctuary, sacrifice, and son\/king participating in heavenly and new covenant realities; the life of believers is a life of participation in Christ and the heavenly realm—and even the act of reading Scripture is a participation in divine discourse. Across four sections (The Literal and Christological Senses; The Teleological Sense; The Tropological Sense; Soteriology), Benjamin Ribbens brings together Hebrews scholarship with participatory exegesis, union with Christ, and a broad framework of participation. Such an emphasis on participatory exegesis—as outlined by Matthew Levering and Hans Boersma—resolves tensions within contemporary Hebrews scholarship, introducing a biblical studies methodology into theological inquiries. In doing so, Ribbens offers a fresh reading of Hebrews, building on on-going discussions within the field of the Hebrews' call for active participation in and with the divine.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507738419573,"sku":"9781666911411","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/participation-and-hebrews","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
