The Transcendent Christ: St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781965303870)

The Transcendent Christ gathers together conferences given by faculty at a summer study session on the Letter to the Hebrews sponsored by the Saint Albert the Great Center for Scholastic Studies and held in Norcia, Italy. The conferences explored aspects of the text as well as its reception in Catholic theology and liturgy. Contributors include Rev. Thomas Crean, Rev. Cassian Folsom, Rev. Yosyp Veresh, John P. Joy, Peter Kwasniewski, Br. Evagrius Hayden, and Daniel Lendman. The book also contains the transcript of a lively session of Qu stiones Disputat in which three questions were debated by participants: "Whether he who performs the rites of the Old Law offends God?; Whether the shedding of blood is necessary for the remission of sins?; Whether to please God it is sufficient to believe that He exists and is a rewarder of those who seek Him?" Added to the conferences are an essay by Nathan Schmiedicke masterfully defending the Pauline authorship of Hebrews and a complete presentation of St. Thomas's divisio textus of the letter.
