This article explores the description of Jesus in the epistle to the Hebrews in terms of the priesthood, as a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. This office is thus also described as an integral part of the redemptive work of Christ.

What are the implications of the discovery of 11QMelchizedek for the interpretation of Melchizedek in Hebrews 7? In this essay Cockerill wants to show that the differences between 11QMelchizedek and Hebrews are too significant to consider the possibility that any close contact between the authors or readers of these documents was possible.

The article discusses Melchizedek (Genesis 14:17-24). This discussion also involves Abram and his acts that show trust in God rather than his own strength. The Levitical priesthood, and ultimately the priesthood of Jesus Christ, also come into view.

This is the first article in a trilogy on the topic of the new covenant. The book of Hebrews makes the point that Christ is the High Priest who serves as the One who brings us to God in the order of Melchizedek. He represents all of God's people before God. This is part of the main point of the new covenant.

In Genesis 14 Abram displayed a heart of a shepherd in seeking out Lot. This article reveals how God showed His provision and how Abram submitted to Christ in his meeting with Melchizedek.
