This book answers the following question: what was the mindset about the creation of Hebrews’ author? This book shows a summary of Hebrews’ assertions on the origin of everything, i.e., on cosmogony. This book introduces a new methodology which allows the discovery of a document’s position on topics other than its main topic, i.e., a methodology that could be termed a “text-linguistic exclusion” and which consists of four steps: 1) identification, 2) exclusion, 3) simplification, and 4) organization.
Finally, this book shows that the relationship between Hebrews and its first-century philosophy is not antagonistic or confrontational, since Hebrews seems not to try to correct these other cosmogonies but only presents its particular and coherent point of view.
