Reihe: Contributions to Biblical Exeg

This volume contains the exegetical contributions of a conference held

in Louvain-la-Neuve in 2014. The participants explored the concepts of

border, boundary, and frontier related to Hebrews, not only in the

letter itself, but also in its reception.

The book first focuses on the definition of Hebrews as a text at the

confluence of various cultural worlds: elaborated in the Diaspora, can

the letter/sermon be characterized as a middle course between a

so-called 'Jewish world' and a so-called 'pagan world'? Within the

Jewish cultural world, did it really hold a marginal position? Is its

nuanced attitude toward the priesthood and the Temple the first step

outside Judaism, as it has long been claimed?
