Abstract

The aim of this article is to add two qualifications to the discussion on the topic of Eucharistic allusions in the Epistle to the Hebrews as well as to provide an analysis of two fragments of the epistle that take these qualifications into account. The first is the proposal of the “defense of a holy formula” expressed by Joachim Jeremias; the second is understanding Christ’s sacrifice in Hebrews essentially not in categories of death on the Cross but of offering up the resurrected Christ in heaven according to David Moffitt’s explanation. The fragments of the epistle under discussion are Hebrews 9 : 19–22 and 13 : 9–13.
