Jewish Scholars on the Epistle to the Hebrews

I have addressed the theology of Hebrews from my Christian perspective and it is important to listen to Jewish voices on this text. Many readers might be familiar with Pamela Eisenbaum and Mark Nanos for their significant contributions to the “Paul within Judaism” perspective, so below are their reflections on the issue of Hebrews and supersessionism based on conference papers that they have posted online:

• Pamela Eisenbaum, Hebrews, Supersessionism and Jewish-Christian Relations (SBL Annual Meeting 2005)
• Mark Nanos, New or Renewed Covenantalism?: A Response to Richard Hays’ “‘Here We Have No Lasting City’: New Covenantalism in Hebrews” (The St. Andrews Conference on Hebrews and Theology, 2006). This has been published in The Epistle to the Hebrews and Christian Theology (ed. R.J. Bauckham, D.R. Driver, T.A. Hart, and N. MacDonald; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2009). See also a messianic Jewish perspective in this response article in Kesher: A Journal of Messianic Judaism.
