Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Allen to explore the Book of Hebrews. Having written his dissertation defending Luke as the author, Dr. Allen brings unique insight into this profound New Testament letter. We tackle key questions such as, How can we be confident Hebrews belongs in the canon? Who was the original audience? What interpretive approach best unlocks the book’s meaning? We also wrestle with the difficult apostasy passages—especially Hebrews 6—often cited in Arminian theology. Additionally you’ll hear Dr. Allen’s unfiltered take on how some Old Earth Creationists use Hebrews to argue that God is still in His seventh-day rest. This conversation is rich, thought-provoking, and a must-listen for anyone serious about understanding Hebrews.TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Intro00:04:37 - Who Wrote Hebrews?00:42:28 - Who was the Original Audience?00:46:23 - How Do We Know It’s Canon?00:51:46 - More Evidence for Authorship & Audience00:55:12 - Interpretive Method01:59:58 - Hebrews 601:20:55 - Are OEC Arguments from Hebrews Valid?01:30:04 - Books Recommendations & ClosingFollow Dr. Allen on X (https://x.com/drdavidlallen?s=21)Dr. Allen’s Website: (https://www.drdavidallen.org)Preaching Coach with Dr. David Allen (https://www.preachingcoach.com)Hebrews: An Exegetical and Theological Exposition of Holy Scripture (Volume 35) (The New American Commentary) by David L.
