Episode 195 Letter to the Hebrews with Amy Peeler
Amy Peeler has been with us before on The Stone Chapel Podcasts. Â Her first podcast has two parts and she talked about her book Women and the Gender of God.
There is a link in the show notes below to find those two podcasts. She joins David Capes today on the podcast to discuss her new commentary on the letter to the Hebrews.
Who Is Amy Peeler?
Amy Peeler is the Kenneth T. Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies at Wheaton College. The former holder of that chair was Dr. Doug Moo.Â
She earned her PhD at Princeton Theological Seminary and today is ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church.  She serves as associate rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal church in Geneva, IL.
The Letter to the Hebrews
For all practical purposes the letter to the Hebrews is one of the most complicated and robust of biblical books.Â
It has attracted Dr. Peeler’s attention since grad school. She loves it, first, because of its heavy engagement with the Scriptures of Israel. She also loves it as a historian because of the way you can see Greek influences in the book.
We call it a letter today. It also has the overtones of a sermon and deep encouragement to a community under stress.
The commentary is part of a new series on Spiritual Formation. For Dr. Peeler the essential questions are: (1) who is God as revealed in Hebrews? (2) how are we to live in the light of this revelation? (3) how does reading this book change your life?Â
Joshua Jipp, professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago, said on social media that this is his all time favorite commentary. High praise, indeed!Â
So if you want to know more about the letter to the Hebrews, listen to this podcast first. Then find Dr. Peeler’s book.
