Understanding Hebrews: A Post-Supersessionist Approach (Interview w/ D. Thomas Lancaster)

Does the Epistle to the Hebrews teach supersessionism? Does the author suggest that the Messiah’s priesthood and sacrifice have replaced the Levitical Priesthood and animal sacrifices? Traditionally, many have argued yes, citing passages that mention a “change” in the law and that describe the first covenant as becoming obsolete. However, a growing number of scholars are challenging the supersessionist readings of those passages. My guest today, D. Thomas Lancaster, has recently authored a commentary arguing for a post-supersessionist approach to Hebrews. I’m excited to have him with us to explore this perspective on the Epistle to the Hebrews.
