Levitical Sacrifice and Heavenly Cult in Hebrews

This monograph examines Hebrews' understanding of the relationship between old covenant sacrifices and Christ's new covenant sacrifice, especially as it relates to the question of efficacy. The heavenly cult in Hebrews gives the framework for relating the levitical cult to the Christ cult, leading to the affirmation of positive statements in Hebrews about the efficacy of levitical sacrifice that are held in balance with its critical evaluation.
