Schriftauslegung und Christologie im Hebräerbrief

No other text in the New Testament uses Old Testament quotations so explicitly in its arguments as the Letter to the Hebrews. The present study examines this reception of the Old Testament. In it, the link becomes clear between exegesis and Christology – the manner and way in which reference is made to Jesus Christ (Son, High Priest, Sacrifice) is influenced by Old Testament texts and motifs. At the same time, the Christology of the Letter to the Hebrews determines the choice and interpretation of these texts. They are exclusively interpreted with reference to Jesus Christ.
