Johnson's study of Hebrews is unusual in adopting a
social-scientific analysis. By examining the implicit sociological
data in the Epistle to the Hebrews, and locating the implied
society within the context of the larger Graeco-Roman world, he
concludes that the author of Hebrews advocates an ideal society
that is both more open to outsiders and more willing to assimilate
fully new members than was first-century ce hellenistic Judaism.
According to the group/grid paradigm developed by Mary Douglas, the
implied society can be categorized as +weak' group/'weak' grid, in
contrast to +strong' group/'strong' grid Hellenistic Judaism. The
critique of the levitical system in Hebrews can be seen as
supporting the author's advocacy of that implied open society.
