<br/><br/>1. The efficacy of levitical sacrifice compared to Christ's sacrifice in Hebrews --  2. Sacrifice theology in Second Temple Judaism --  3. Heavenly cult in Second Temple Judaism --  4. Heavenly tabernacle and cult in Hebrews --  5. Old covenant sacrifices --  6. New covenant sacrifice --  7. Conclusion --  Appendix: Perfection in Second Temple literature and the New Testament. 
<br/><br/> This monograph examines Hebrews' understanding of the relationship between old covenant sacrifices and Christ's new covenant sacrifice, especially as it relates to the question of efficacy. The heavenly cult in Hebrews gives the framework for relating the levitical cult to the Christ cult, leading to the affirmation of positive statements in Hebrews about the efficacy of levitical sacrifice that are held in balance with its critical evaluation.
