Priests belong to an order of priesthood and are associated with a sanctuary. The author of this epistle appeals to the Aaronic priesthood as the very highest expression of professional priesthood that he knows. If any priesthood could have been expected to fulfil successfully the functions of priesthood, this priesthood should have been expected to do so in his judgment, for it was instituted by God himself. He uses this priesthood as a medium of comparison for the priesthood of Jesus, and because of the familiarity of his readers with it, as a means of explaining to them the nature of Jesus' priesthood. He is highly appreciative of the Aaronic priesthood and exalts it in order to exalt even more the priesthood of Jesus which he claims is better than it. Despite his high regard for the Aaronic priesthood, the author believes that it has failed to achieve the real purposes of priesthood and the true ends of religion. Its two chief failures are failure to remove the obstacles, hindrances, and hurdles which separate men from God, particularly men's sins, and failure to gain access for men to God. From the emphasis which the author lays on these two failures, it follows that he believes that true and successful priesthood must fulfil these two functions. Priesthood must deal adequately with sins and other barriers in the sinner's approach to God, and must bring men to God. The author is aware of the technical, professional and ceremonial requirements of priesthood. He recognizes, too, that Jesus could never be a priest according to any such professional priestly order. He admits frankly that Jesus is not a priest after the order of Aaron. Since he needs to belong to some order of priesthood, he makes him a priest after the order of Melchizedek on the strength of a quotation from Psalm which calls the Messiah such a priest. Since Christians hold Jesus to be the Messiah, he must therefore be a Melchizedek priest. The Melchizedek priesthood allows the author to say "by interpretation" that Jesus belongs to an order of priesthood, and that this order is superior to the order of Aaron because eternal, prior to that of Aaron, deferred to by it, and permanent. The author then presents Jesus as "better" than the angels who mediated the Aaronic covenant, because he was better equipped to do for men what a priesthood is supposed to do. He is "better" than Moses because he leads men into the "rest of God" whereas Moses failed to do this. He is "better" than the Aaronic priests because he successfully removes the barrier of men's sin from obstructing their progress to God, and brings men fully into the presence of God. The sanctuary in which Jesus ministers is the true, original and actual sanctuary of God in heaven of which the Aaronic sanctuary is but an earthly copy made with hands. In this heavenly sanctuary there is no separation between men and God for Jesus has removed the veil of separation that kept them apart. Into this sanctuary Jesus enters as the forerunner of men by virtue of his own blood offered in sacrifice. This sacrifice is adequate to cleanse men's consciences of "dead works" and to bring men to the mercy seat of the Eternal. Jesus fulfils the real purposes of priesthood and he achieves for men the true ends of religion. In him they gain complete salvation. The author does not start with Jesus as priest, he ends with him as such. Having noted the priestly services which Jesus successfully performs, he concludes from this fact that Jesus is a priest, a superior priest, and the supreme priest. This is the proof which the author presents for the priesthood of Jesus. When it is examined, it is found to consist of scriptural proof-texting, allegorical imagining and ingenious analogy making. It is all confessional claim, and not objective proof, judged by any standards of technical, logical argumentation. He has worked out the ministry of Jesus as a priest in terms of analogy and typology. These are literary rather than logical devices, however, His material is testimony, confession, witness and affirmation. Using this material the author has not proved and cannot prove his case that Jesus is a priest in any objective, logical sense. It is not material that can be so proved. The author's real case for the priesthood of Jesus rests upon his own Christian experience and that of his readers; it is proof or evidence of a religious character. This experience, though not subject to logical substantiation, cannot be refuted, and must be allowed to be a valid representation of truth. The author's justification for calling Jesus a priest is found in the fact that he accomplished for sinful men what priesthood should accomplish and failed. His proof does not stand up logically, but truth is truth whether it can be proved logically or not. Proof is intended only to help others to see the truth and to confirm it, never to create it. Formal proof is not the only kind of legitimate argumentation. Testimony, confession, witness of others and allegory are also legitimate methods of helping men to appropriate the truth.

Albert Vanhoye, who has worked for many years studying the Epistle to the Hebrews, now brings one of the most authoritative contemporary commentaries to a wider audience, articulating the unique priesthood of Jesus Christ for the first Christian communities. In A Different Priest , a detailed analysis of the text of Hebrews enables us to conclude that this is the full text of a splendid Christian preaching text. The first part of this work, which examines the name of Christ, offers a general and contemporary Christology. The next two parts offer a priestly Christology, first more general and then more specific. Finally, the last two parts show the result of this for the Christian life. In the Logos edition of A Different Priest , you get easy access to Scripture texts and a wealth of other resources in your digital library. Albert Vanhoye entered the Society of Jesus in He obtained his Licence en Lettres from the Sorbonne and his doctorate in biblical studies from the Biblical Institute in Rome. One of the most recognized scholars on the Epistle to the Hebrews, he taught exegesis at Chantilly before being appointed as a professor at the Biblical Institute, where he taught exegesis and New Testament biblical theology from until and served as the rector. Vanhoye was a member of the Biblical Commission from until , and its secretary from until He has published many works on exegesis, biblical theology, and spirituality.

Abstract The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews claims that Jesus is a priest. This is a unique and original claim, since no other New Testament document calls him a priest, and none of Jesus' contemporaries apparently thought of him in this manner. The question naturally arises whether the author's claim that Jesus is a priest is a legitimate one or not. What does he mean by calling Jesus a priest? How does he justify the use of the term in connection with Jesus? Does he sufficiently support his case with the material which he advances for evidence? Is it possible to establish his claim with this evidence and this line of argument? Are his claims and procedure valid? Other interpreters of the priesthood of Jesus as presented by this epistle have said that the author starts with Jesus as priest and concludes from this assumption that Jesus fulfils priestly functions. They have said, too, that the proof which the author presents to establish Jesus as a priest is adequate for this purpose and valid. They hold that he proves his case by the methods he uses. But their treatments are dominated by theological and speculative considerations which raise no question in criticism of the author's presenting Jesus as a priest or of the validity of such a claim. An examination of the nature of priesthood in general and of the Aaronic priesthood of the Old Testament in particular indicates that priesthood is concerned with the relations between human beings and the superhuman beings whom they know as a god, gods, or God, for the benefit of both. In a word, a priest is the mediator between men and God, offering men's sacrifices and revealing God's judgments and will. Priests strive to gain forgiveness for men's sins and to establish communion between men and God. To become a priest a candidate must meet very rigorous requirements of a technical and professional nature. He must be intensively trained in all of the ceremonial practices of priesthood and elaborately initiated into the ranks of priests. Priests belong to an order of priesthood and are associated with a sanctuary. The author of this epistle appeals to the Aaronic priesthood as the very highest expression of professional priesthood that he knows.

  • Book Reviews
    Theological Studies 68 (2007) BOOK REVIEWS OPENING THE SEALED BOOK:INTERPRETATIONS OF THE BOOK OF ISAIAH IN LATE ANTIQUITY. By Joseph Blenkinsopp. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerd- mans, 2006. Pp. 335. $25. Blenkinsopp recently completed Anchor Bible’s three-volume commen- tary on the Book of Isaiah. His work there not only resulted in detailed analysis of the shape and purpose of the Isaian text, but also led B. to realize the influence of the interpretive process, already begun in the final redaction of the book, on a variety of works and movements in the fol- lowing centuries. Here B. explores three models of Isaiah drawn from the book itself: (1) the prophet who announces judgment as God’s critic of society and defender of the marginal; (2) the prophet as apocalyptic seer who announces imminent final judgment; and (3) the prophet as “man of God” who (in general a hero of the past) heals, intercedes, works miracles, and the like. Each model played a role among different groups, but the most important trajectory for B. is that of the apocalyptic seer, given Isaiah’s heavy influence on the Book of Daniel, the Qumran sectar- ians, and the earliest Palestinian Christianity. Two themes are key: the penitent remnant that survives the Exile, and the sealed book hiding Isa- iah’s words until a future completion (Isa. 8:16; 29:11–12). B. concludes that both Qumran and Christianity likely emphasized these themes because each of their founders, the Teacher of Righteousness and Jesus, applied them to himself. Studies of their respective uses of Isaian texts can help exegetes reach better comparative understandings of the first Christians and the Qumran community, and see more clearly how Jesus and Chris- tianity stood within the orbit of sectarian Judaism.

    Jewish-Christian Relations Insights and Issues in the ongoing Jewish-Christian Dialogue The Controversy Surrounding the 2008 Good Friday Prayer in Europe: The Discussion and its Theological Implications 11.09.2009 | Henrix, Hans Hermann With courtesy of The Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations, United States/Canada The Controversy Surrounding the 2008 Good Friday Prayer in Europe: The Discussion and its Theological Implications* Hans Hermann Henrix Good Friday of the year 2008 has a unique place in the history of Catholic-Jewish relations. The Good Friday prayer “for the Jews” that was promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI and published in a note from the Secretariat of State on February 4, 2008 triggered significant controversy affecting Catholic-Jewish relations. The 2008 text of the intercession reads: Let us pray for the Jews. That our God and Lord enlighten their hearts so that they recognize Jesus Christ, the Savior of all mankind. Let us pray. Let us kneel down. Arise. Eternal God Almighty, you want all people to be saved and to arrive at the knowledge of the Truth. Graciously grant that when the fullness of nations enters your Church, all Israel will be saved. Through Christ our Lord.1 Both the way the publication and communication were handled and the theological implications of the intercession generated this controversy. This article records the basic themes of the European discussion on this matter, reporting on the political dialogue accompanying the controversy. It will also raise questions about whether the 2008 Good Friday prayer should be understood as an opening for further Catholic liturgical changes and about whether requests for Jewish reciprocity liturgically are relevant.

  • The Pontifical Biblical Commission Becomes
    The Pontifical Biblical Commission becomes more conservative in its Attitude toward the Bible: A Look at the Document The In- spiration and Truth of Sacred Scripture (2014)1 By Thomas Schirrmacher Translated from the German by Dr. Richard McClary, edited by Prof. Dr. K. Johnsone The Pontifical Biblical Commission is a part of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which in a certain sense is the Vatican's theological commission. The Congregation is under the leadership of the Gerhard Ludwig Cardinal Müller, who along with this over- sees the Commission on the Bible. The Commission elects its own head and is semi- independent in its publications. There are clear differences compared to the 1993 document by the Pontifical Biblical Commission, entitled The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church.2 The historical-critical methods are no longer so wholeheartedly elevated to almost canonical rank. Rather, his- torical-critical methods are relativized. Indeed, the new document points to the “methods” discussed in 1993 (§ 105, pp. 124- 125), but the fact cannot be hidden that there has been a clear distancing from the line tak- en in the 1993 document. However, the new document is only able to rhetorically but not truly bridge the tension between an almost complete license for the results of historical-critical methods and pro- tection of the historical foundations of the confession of faith and the affirmation of the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures.
