This week Douglas Wilson talks about the Pauline authorship of Hebrews. He then goes on to review “Job, The Victim of His People”, a book by René Girard. Wrapping it up with a look at the New Testament word “Anastauroo.” Happy plodding!
Show notes:
Pauline Authorship of Hebrews
- The argument against: “The letter just doesn’t sound like him.”
- There are ways the style could be different and make sense
- 2 Pet. 3:15-16 “As Paul wrote to you”
Job, The Victim of His People
- Book by René Girard
- Warning: Although a very insightful writer, Girard is not a Biblical infallibilist
- Ruin for Job meant economic distress for everyone around
- Job doesn’t do what a pagan King would do
- This outlook on accusation is very refreshing
Harmartiology
- “Anastauroo” means “to recrucify”
- Heb. 6:6
