“We have a high priest who can help us”: Reading the Letter to the Hebrews (S22-25)
Kieran O’Mahony OSA
The Letter to the Hebrews occupies a central place in the liturgy of Good Friday. This module offers an introduction to this text, specifically underlining its context and genre, before going on to a close reading of selected passages. The “goal” is to grasp the central message of the letter: the priesthood of Jesus. This teaching was a challenge to the writer who freely acknowledges that Jesus was not a priest in the traditional sense. The Letter is not easy to read but repays the effort because it offers a viable alternative to the western tradition of redemption.
