Description: "Jody A. Barnard explores the role of Jewish apocalyptic mysticism in the epistle to the Hebrews. He argues that there are numerous apocalyptic and mystical themes appropriated in Hebrews, and that there is evidence to suggest that this is not merely a conceptual and literary phenomenon, but is born out of, and informed by, mystical experience."--Back cover.
