A neglected area of study of the letter to the Hebrews is the
function of the Old Testament in the letter's logic. Compton
addresses this neglect by looking at two other ideas that have
themselves received too little attention, namely (1) the unique and
fundamental semantic contribution of Hebrews' exposition (vis-a-vis
its exhortation) and (2) the prominence of Ps 110 in the author's
exposition. The conclusion becomes clear that Hebrews'
exposition-its theological argument-turns, in large part, on
successive inferences drawn from Ps 110:1 and 4. Compton observes
that the author uses the text in the first part of his exposition
to (1) interpret Jesus' resurrection as his messianic enthronement,
(2) connect Jesus' enthronement with his fulfillment of Ps 8's
vision for humanity and, thus, (3) begin to explain why Jesus was
enthroned through suffering. In the second and third parts of his
exposition, the author uses the text to corroborate the narrative
initially sketched. Thus, he uses the text to (1) show that messiah
was expected to be a superior priest and, moreover, (2) show that
this messianic priest was expected to solve the human problem
through death.
