Description
"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 65: Hebrews" is an epistle from the New Testament of unknown authorship. The text exhorts persecuted Christians to remain faithful rather than return to Judaism. It presents Jesus as both High Priest and Son of God, arguing his role as mediator between God and humanity supersedes Jewish Law. Written for a Jewish audience, it uses Old Testament quotations to support its complex theological arguments about Christ's priesthood and sacrifice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
