This week Douglas Wilson talks about the Pauline authorship of Hebrews. He then goes on to review “Job, The Victim of His People”, a book by René Girard. Wrapping it up with a look at the New Testament word “Anastauroo.” Happy plodding!

Show notes:

Pauline Authorship of Hebrews

• The argument against: “The letter just doesn’t sound like him.”
• There are ways the style could be different and make sense
• 2 Pet. 3:15-16 “As Paul wrote to you”

Job, The Victim of His People

• Book by René Girard
• Warning: Although a very insightful writer, Girard is not a Biblical infallibilist
• Ruin for Job meant economic distress for everyone around
• Job doesn’t do what a pagan King would do
• This outlook on accusation is very refreshing

Harmartiology

• “Anastauroo” means “to recrucify”
• Heb. 6:6
