The Letter to the Hebrews
Written for theologians and graduate students in New Testament studies, The Letter to the Hebrews: A New Commentary, exegetes the entire letter verse by verse, paying attention to relevant issues for theology and spiritual life. Most remarkably, it explains why this "letter" is really a homily written by a preacher who must have delivered it several times in different places, and it offers an eloquent interpretation of the Letter to the Hebrews as a Christological hymn celebrating the priesthood of Christ. Highlights: - A thorough commentary - Written by the most renowned scholar - On one of the favorite and yet most enigmatic books of the New Testament: the Letter to the Hebrews. - It's not a "letter" at all--it's a homily. +

Its attractive packaging and accessible writing style make it a series to own--and to read!
Old Testament Priests and the New Priest
Recent decades have seen passionate debate in the Church about the nature of priesthood. Cardinal Vanhoye's classic study, originally published in English in 1986, provides a much needed exegesis following the New Testament texts that speak of priests and priesthood. In the first century the question of priesthood was a distinct issue from that of ministries in the Church. This book identifies three series of texts about priesthood contained in the New Testament. In the first series the vocabulary of priesthood is used only in connection with Jewish priests and high priests, or - in one case only - in connection with pagan priests. In the second series, whose texts are all found together in ...

Christ Our High Priest
"At the end of these days of Spiritual Exercises, I would like to give a heartfelt thanks to you, your Eminence, for your spiritual guidance, which has been offered with such theological competence and spiritual depth. From my angle of vision, I have been able to see, on the wall of the Chapel, the image of Jesus kneeling before St Peter in order to wash his feet. Through your meditations, this image has spoken to me. I have recognized that precisely here, in this attitude, in this act of extreme humility, the new priesthood of Jesus is realized. It is realized in his act of solidarity with us, with our weaknesses, our suffering, and our temptations, even to the point of death. I have also seen the red vestments of Jesus with new eyes that speak to me of his blood. You, worthy Cardinal, have taught us that the blood of Jesus was, on account of his prayer, "oxygenated" by the Holy Spirit. In this way, it has become the power of resurrection and the source of life for us." POPE BENEDICT XVI
A Structured Translation of the Epistle to the Hebrews
The present work unites two previously published studies by Albert Vanhoye on the Epistle to the Hebrews: Le message de l'Epitre aux Hebreux (Paris 1977) and A structured Translation of the Epistle to the Hebrews (Rome, 1964). The former was an example of haute vulgarisation: a presentation in non-technical language of the literary genre of Hebrews, of questions concerning its author, and of the problem of the priesthood in the Old Testament cult and how Hebrews respond to this problem with his own message about the priesthood of Christ. This message is seen to emerge from a detailed analysis of the structure of the epistle. The structure is then presented in the form of a literal translation of the entire epistle with careful indication of the elements which delimit and characterize its several parts.
Structure and Message of the Epistle to the Hebrews
Includes reedited translations of: Le message de l'Epitre aux Hebreux and A structured translation of the Epistle to the Hebrews, translated by James Swetnam.
A Different Priest
The first part, which only examines one theme, the Name of Christ, offers a general and contemporary Christology. The next two parts offer a priestly Christology, firstly more general and then more specific. Finally, the last two parts show the result of this for the Christian life, lived out in faith, hope and charity. The author of this work has worked for many years on the Epistle to the Hebrews, and, notably, has taught it at the Biblical Institute and published a great number of specialist articles and books on it, and now brings one of the most contemporary authoritative commentaries to a wider audience, contributing with the understanding of the unique Priesthood of Jesus Christ for the first Christian communities. In this work, a detailed analysis of the text known as the Epistle to the Hebrews enables us to conclude without a shadow of a doubt that this is the full text of a splendid Christian preaching, which constantly conforms to the rules of Semitic rhetoric, including various genres of parallelism, synonymis, antithesis and complementarity, and obeying a concentrically symmetrical schema
Our Priest is Christ
In our days the meaning of priesthood is questioned. The Council reminded Christians that they were all priests, because they participate in the priesthood of Christ (The Dogmatic Constitution of the Church Lumen Gentium, 10,11,34). It is clear that this doctrine calls for serious study. Moreover, today the function of priests is questioned and society demands on their part an intense renewal. If they do not wish to wander is wrong directions, priests must, first of all, be sure of the doctrinal basis of their vocation. The following pages do not pretend to point out a solution for all the contemporary problems. They are intended to help others draw near to the source of light, which, in thi...
