Endurance in Suffering: Hebrews 12:1-13 in its Rhetorical, Religious, and Philosophical Context (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series) Book

Hebrews 12: 1-13 portrays the suffering of its readers with two images: an athletic contest, and God's fatherly discipline. N. Clayton Croy places this important passage in the context of Jewish and Greco-Roman traditions. He argues that the idea of 'training' unites the passage, which presents Jesus as the supreme athlete. It also supports a non-punitive understanding of discipline, in which God's children undergo a positive process of education. These ideas combine to support a call in Hewbrews to faithful endurance rather than repentance.Read More
