| Summary: | The author of the present article proposes an interpretation of the soteriology in Hebrews, especially of the removal of sin through Jesus, that is not based mainly on the imagery of expiation and cultic sacrifice, but on God's promise of a new covenant according to Jer 38:31-34 [LXX]. Thereby the fulfilment of the promise concerned with a non-remembering of failures, leading to an amnesty-like remission of sins for the people of the new covenant, is demonstrated (Jer 38:34bß [LXX]). Furthermore, the said author argues that the promise concerned with God's mercy with regard to transgressions (Jer 38:34bα [LXX]) finds its fulfilment in the eternal intercession of the high priest, Christ. |
