Hebrews in Contexts

Hebrews in Contexts, edited by Gabriella Gelardini and Harold W. Attridge, gathers authors who explore extensively on Hebrews' neglected contexts, its relations to other early traditions and texts (Jewish, Hellenistic, and Roman) in order to map Hebrews' historical, cultural, and religious identity in greater, and perhaps surprising detail.
