In this episode of our Christian Anti-Judaism series we have another discussion on supersessionism, following last week’s look at supersessionism in Paul. For this conversation we turn to Hebrews with Dr. Madison Pierce, who is Assistant Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and the author of Divine Discourse in the Epistle to the Hebrews: The Recontextualization of Spoken Quotations of Scripture (published by Cambridge University Press). Over the course of our conversation Dr. Pierce helpfully situates her approach over against the common understanding of the purpose of the letter that contends that the author is trying to get the audience to avoid “falling back” from Christianity into Judaism. Dr. Pierce also addresses a number of thorny issues in Hebrews relevant for our conversation, including the cultic system, the priesthood, and the notion of a new covenant, and she delineates between different senses in which Hebrews might and might not be supersessionistic. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities includes: Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Jennifer Guo, Dr. Chris Porter, and Dr. Logan Williams.
