Scholarly interest has turned again to the Epistle in recent years, notes Mason (biblical studies, Judson U., Illinois), but the key motif of Jesus as high priest is not being discussed this time. After reviewing both the past arguments and the scholarship since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, he concludes that currents in Second Temple Judaism, especially ideas evidenced in the Qumran texts, provide the best background for understanding the presentation of Jesus as priest. The study is a revision of his 2005 doctoral dissertation in theology for the University of Notre Dame. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
