Epistle with the Hebrews
The Épître with the Hebrews is a book of the New Testament.
She addresses herself to Christians resulting from the Judaïsme, i.e., with the direction first, the Judeo-Christian S still attached for the use of the Jewish law such as for example the religious circumcision.
She does not comprise a name of author. She is often allotted to the apostle Paul of which she reflects the ideas, but the sought style, the manner of introducing the biblical quotations, makes that it is commonly allowed that he is not the author. Origène said on this subject: “For me, if I delivered my opinion, I would say that the thoughts are of the apostle; but the sentence and the composition are somebody who reports the lesson of the apostle”. Various names were proposed, in particular that of Apollos (of which it is question into 1 Co 1,12).
Its originality lies in the resolutely transitory topic between two alliances, the Ancienne Alliance and the Nouvelle Alliance. The author tries to explain the basic difference between the two wills (synonymous with alliances): the report/ratio with God and its definition of the hello is upset.
Under the Old Alliance, contracted by Abraham (by the act of faith of the Circumcision), the man lives under the mode of the Loi. What means that to deserve and gain its safety, the man must rigorously observe ALL the commands registered in the Law, with his multitude of prohibited and obligations constraining.
Under the New Alliance, contracted at the time of the Pentecost of year 33 (by the act of faith of the Baptism of water), the man lives under the mode of the Grâce. The blood of Jesus lava the repenting sinner, who is not held any more to observe the commands of the Law, thing besides impossible to the men, so much it is constraining.
A constant however remains from one will to another: the Faith. Waiting of God with regard to the faith is the same one as that shown by the men of the Ancienne Alliance. The faith which animated the patriarchs and great figures of the Old Testament (Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moïse, etc) thus constitutes a reference to be followed for the Christian.
In this epistle, the author defines what it describes as base of the faith in chapter 6: " renouncement of died works, of the faith as a God, the doctrines of the baptisms, the resurrection laying on of hands of deaths, and the judgment Eternal. "
