Plodcast Ep. 73 - Pauline Authorship of Hebrews, Job, The Victim of His People, Anastauroo

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
