Reading Questions
For next week you’re reading Philemon through
Hebrews 13. Answer the following:
• Some early scholars believed that Hebrews was
written by Paul. Why do you think they would
have thought this?

was written to Jewish recipients. What are some
examples of a Jewish perspective in this book?

Hebrews, what do you learn about the sacrifice of
Christ and how it is like the sacrifices practiced by
the Jews?

Faith in Hebrews
Faith in Hebrews is subtly tied to works. This is not to
say that the writer of Hebrews explains that we need
works as well as faith, but rather that faith is evidenced
in the works of the “great cloud of believers”.
Please don’t throw this away. If you’re not going to use it, leave it for
