Was Jesus a Priest?

Last updated on: April 6, 2014 at 7:50 am   By William Hamblin

We need to understand that in ancient societies, it was not only considered completely legitimate for students to record the teachings of their master in their master’s name after his death, it was often considered their duty to do so.  Thus, the author—or perhaps better the “originator”—of a particular teaching, is the master who first orally taught the tradition.  The people who later recorded the tradition in writing—either during the lifetime of the originator, or even many decades or even... Read more

Priesthood in the Bible

Last updated on: April 5, 2014 at 9:20 am   By William Hamblin

Priests and priesthood are import in the Bible, especially in the Old Testament.  In its most practical sense, biblical priests were functionaries at the temple.  Although all Israelites, male and female, could worship at the temple, but only priests could serve at the temple—performing blood sacrifice, presenting offerings to the Lord, making wine libations, presenting and eating the shewbread, caring for the lights of the menorah, and burning incense.  All Israelite priests (kohen) were descendants of Aaron, the brother of... Read more

DH 4: Ancient concepts of Authorship

Last updated on: April 5, 2014 at 8:25 am   By William Hamblin

Most biblical books are anonymous—no authorship is asserted by the text itself.  The major exceptions are the prophetic books, all of which explicitly name the prophet as their author (Isaiah 1:1; Jeremiah 1:1; Ezekiel 1:3; Hosea 1:1; Joel 1:1; Amos 1:1; Habakkuk 1:1; Zephaniah 1:1; Haggai 1:1; Zechariah 1:1; Malachi 1:1; Note that many scholars claim these passages are “colophons” added by later editors or copyists as a type of title or introduction to the book.)  Nonetheless, even in these... Read more
