Melchizedek

Today’s triennial torah cycle is about the mysterious figure of Melchizedek. He is mentioned only twice in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 14 and Psalm 110).

In this class I take a look at several ancient sources to consider this figure.

We look at the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jewish Midrashim and the New Testament book of Hebrews.

We also cover some material on the Hebrew idea of “the Messiah”. I show that this idea is more complex than most assume.

You will not want to miss this class.
