Encouragement and Baptism in Hebrews

Alan Knox has a post on the Theology of Encouragement in Hebrews, which will be his Ph.D. dissertation topic. He notes a number of passages in Hebrews with the theme of encouragement. It sounds like it will be an interesting dissertation.

Over at יהוה מלך is a posting on the mode of baptism. A number of passages are cited, including some from Hebrews, which suggest that sprinkling is a valid form of baptism which symbolizes purification, cleansing, and regeneration.

Update: Note Alan Knox's clarification in the comments section.

  1. Brian,

    The theme of encouragement in Hebrews will be part of my dissertation. The dissertation itself will be on the purpose of the church meeting in the New Testament.
