ABSTRACT ÁÍìá IN HEBREWS by Hermann V. A. Kuma Adviser: Richard M. Davidson ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: ÁÍìá IN HEBREWS Name of researcher: Hermann V. A. Kuma Name and degree of faculty adviser: Richard M. Davidson, Ph.D. Date completed: January 2010 Problem The focus of the dissertation is the significance of the term áÍìá (“blood”) in the Epistle to the Hebrews and how the author of Hebrews uses the term to formulate the argument and message of the Epistle. The dissertation traces the scholarly blood debate involving blood as life or death which began in the last decade of the nineteenth century and eventually fizzled out in the mid-1950s. Recognition of the ambivalence of blood, symbolizing both life and death, is necessary to understand the message of Hebrews. Method The dissertation provides a discussion of the concept of blood in the OT and ANE environments, demonstrating that in the OT the role of blood in the context of the cult as a means of atonement is unique. Results References to blood are also classified and assessed from the works of both Philo and Josephus, Rabbinic literature, the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, the Qumran community, and the NT. The final chapter of the dissertation deals with the meaning of blood in the Epistle itself, where the author of Hebrews uses his rhetorical skill to present blood as a most powerful medium of approach to God. Conclusions According to the Epistle, blood sanctifies, purifies/cleanses, consecrates/inaugurates, effects perfection, seals covenants, and brings about decisive purgation. When it is despised, it destroys by death. Blood, when used with the term óÜñî (“flesh”), confirms the true humanity of Christ. Blood constitutes a Leitmotif in the Epistle to encompass the atoning work of Christ, who as High Priest shed His blood vicariously to eradicate sin, cleanse the conscience, and save humankind.

  • The Price of Mediation: the Role of Priests in the Priestly Halakhah
    THE PRICE OF MEDIATION: THE ROLE OF PRIESTS IN THE PRIESTLY HALAKHAH Cana Werman Any discussion of facets of the Qumran writings is a risky task given the issues that are still being debated and the lack of consensus regard- ing numerous key questions. Nonetheless, most scholars nowadays would tend to concur that the halakhic dispute between the Qumran community members and the group(s) influenced by the Pharisaic position played a decisive role in the community members’ decision to withdraw from Jerusalem and live in isolation. Attempts to better understand the origin and specifics of this halakhic dispute must come to grips with methodological obstacles.1 The halakhic system embedded in the Qumran writings is the one that was accepted by the Community, and was partly created within its own confines after the withdrawal and after its decision to adopt a 364-day calendar that had never been used in the Land of Israel before.2 The Qumranic halakhic system needs to be teased apart to identify those elements adhered to by the community and those also accepted by the wider group from which the community detached itself, the priestly circle who controlled the Jerusalem temple during the fourth, third, 1 Joseph M. Baumgarten, “Sadducean Elements in Qumran Law,” The Community of the Renewed Covenant: The Notre Dame Symposium on the Dead Sea Scrolls (ed. Eugene Ulrich and James C. VanderKam; Notre Dame, Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, 1994), 27–36. The term “Qumran community” is used here to denote the groups whose existence is implied by the sectarian scrolls found in the cave near Khirbet Qumran (The Rule of the Community, Rule of the Blessings, Hodayot, Damas- cus Document, and the pesharim).
