Sawing off the Branches: Theologizing Dangerously Ad Hebraeos

A. J. M. Wedderburn

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich

The argument of Hebrews depends in large measure upon certain assumptions about the heavenly world as opposed to the earthly and about the validity of the principles of the sacrificial cult. An examination of Hebrews 10:5–9 and 10:19–20 raises the question as to whether the author has implicitly and inadvertently undermined those assumptions. That in turn raises the further hermeneutical question as to whether theological reasoning is inherently self-subverting.
