Divine Discourse in the Epistle to the Hebrews cover

Madison N. Pierce’s Divine Discourse in the Epistle to the Hebrews analyzes prosopological exegesis, revealing a consistent portrayal of the triune God throughout the text.

In Divine Discourse in the Epistle to the Hebrews, Madison N. Pierce delves into the intricate use of prosopological exegesis by the author of Hebrews. This method is applied to nearly every significant quotation of Scripture, revealing how the author consistently employs these texts to shape his portrayal of God. By examining key passages, Pierce illustrates the development of a triune understanding of God as Father, Son, and Spirit throughout the epistle.

The book offers a comprehensive analysis that replaces fragmented interpretations with a cohesive framework. Pierce's detailed readings highlight how the author’s characterization of God aligns with subsequent theological advancements, providing a deeper understanding of the text's implications. This approach not only enriches the reader's grasp of the epistle but also presents a valuable resource for scholars and theologians interested in trinitarian theology.

Through her exploration, Pierce demonstrates that the quotations in Hebrews are not mere references but integral components that contribute to a unified theological narrative. Divine Discourse in the Epistle to the Hebrews serves as a vital tool for researchers examining New Testament Scripture, encouraging a holistic view of the text that emphasizes the interconnectedness of its theological themes.

'… Pierce's monograph is a welcome addition to the discussion of the use of OT quotations in Hebrews …' Abeneazer G. Urga, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
