Endurance in Suffering: Hebrews 12:1-13 in its Rhetorical, Religious, and Philosophical Context

Endurance in Suffering: Hebrews 12:1-13 in its Rhetorical, Religious, and Philosophical Context By N. Clayton Croy
1998 | 260 Pages | ISBN: 0521593050 | PDF | 14 MB


Hebrews 12:1-13 portrays the suffering of its readers with two images: an athletic contest, and God's fatherly discipline. N. Clayton Croy places this important passage in the context of Jewish and Greco-Roman traditions. He argues that the idea of "training" unites the passage, which presents Jesus as the supreme athlete. It also supports a nonpunitive understanding of discipline, in which God's children undergo a positive process of education. These ideas combine to support a call in Hebrews to faithful endurance rather than repentance.
