Edwin K. Broadhead, Paul Foster, and Wolfgang Kraus, eds. Faith at the Interface of Cultures: Law and Gospel, Johannine Communities, and Hebrews. Biblische Zeitschrift Supplements 14. Brill, 2024.
"This Festschrift reflects the enduring efforts of William Loader to connect Christian faith to cultural dynamics, both ancient and modern. A wide variety of scholars seek to further this conversation through critical engagement with Loader’s publications. The contributions focus on three distinct areas: faith and culture at the interface of Law and Gospel; faith and culture in the context of the Johannine communities; and faith and culture in the context of the letter to the Hebrews. Specific texts are examined, various questions are raised anew in light of recent evidence and methodologies, and new connections are explored. Various contributors link their analysis not only to ancient texts, but also to enduring questions and challenges. The necessity, and even the form, of future discussion is suggested in these works. Thus, this volume honours William Loader by carrying forward the conversations that dominate his career."
The collection contains five essays on Hebrews:
