'This well written and persuasively argued book will stimulate further conversation of the status of Jesus’s resurrection in Hebrews.'Alan C. Mitchell, Georgetown University, Religious Studies Review · VOLUME 42 · NUMBER 4 · DECEMBER 2016"the volume is [...] inviting for thoughtful stimulation among fellow New Testament Scholars and systematicians. [...] a very intriguing and interesting book [...] meticulous and thoughtful argument [...] I highly recommend scholars and theologians to read this text." – Shawn J. Wilhite, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in: Fides et Himilitas: The Journal of the Center for Ancient Christian Studies 2014/1"David Moffitt [...] presents a robust case for a bold thesis: far from being an oversight or deliberate omission, the resurrection is an essential presupposition, in the Letter to the Hebrews and is in particular logically central to the text’s understanding of atonement. [...] Moffitt’s fundamental achievement [...] is to have put the resurrection squarely back on the map of Hebrews scholarship." – Nicholas J. Moore, Keble College, Oxford, in: Journal of Theological Studies, October 2013"remarquable ouvrage" – Ch. Grappe, in: Revue d'histoire et de philosophie religieuses 92/3 (2012)
