'This well written and persuasively argued book will stimulate further conversation of the status of Jesus’s resurrection in Hebrews.'
Alan C. Mitchell, Georgetown University, Religious Studies Review · VOLUME 42 · NUMBER 4 · DECEMBER 2016

"the volume is [...] inviting for thoughtful stimulation among fellow New Testament Scholars and systematicians. [...] a very intriguing and interesting book [...] meticulous and thoughtful argument [...] I highly recommend scholars and theologians to read this text." – Shawn J. Wilhite, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in: Fides et Himilitas: The Journal of the Center for Ancient Christian Studies 2014/1

"David Moffitt [...] presents a robust case for a bold thesis: far from being an oversight or deliberate omission, the resurrection is an essential presupposition, in the Letter to the Hebrews and is in particular logically central to the text’s understanding of atonement. [...] Moffitt’s fundamental achievement [...] is to have put the resurrection squarely back on the map of Hebrews scholarship." – Nicholas J. Moore, Keble College, Oxford, in: Journal of Theological Studies, October 2013

"remarquable ouvrage" – Ch. Grappe, in: Revue d'histoire et de philosophie religieuses 92/3 (2012)

Scholars often explain Hebrews’ relative silence regarding Jesus’ resurrection by emphasizing the author’s appeal to Yom Kippur’s two key moments—the sacrificial slaughter and the high priest’s presentation of blood in the holy of holies—in his distinctive portrayal of Jesus’ death and heavenly exaltation. The writer’s depiction of Jesus as the high priest whose blood effected ultimate atonement appears to be modeled upon these two moments. Such a typology discourages discrete reflection on Jesus’ resurrection. Drawing on contemporary studies of Jewish sacrifice (which note that blood represents life, not death), parallels in Jewish apocalyptic literature, and fresh exegetical insights, this volume demonstrates that Jesus’ embodied, resurrected life is crucial for the high-priestly Christology and sacrificial soteriology developed in Hebrews.
