Mere Melchizedek




"Mystery of Melchizedek" is a short and not particularly mysterious exegetic 101 about Melchizedek and the epistle to the Hebrews. It doesn't say anything new or out of the ordinary, except (perhaps) when author Chuck Missler indicates that the period when Israel was God's chosen people is a “Jewish parenthesis”, something I suppose classical dispensationalists would not say. However, he doesn't elaborate. Nor does the article mention any new discoveries in Jerusalem, as the editorial review claims. Something of a disappointment, actually. I had expected something more along the lines of, say, Michael Heiser or even Margaret Barker!
