The present work is an attempt to arrive at a plausible macro-structure
of the Epistle to the Hebrews based on a palusible micro-structure which
in turn is based on a close reading of the individual sentences of the
text. This close reading is, in turn, an attempt to come to plausible
grips with all meaningful elements in the sentences including the
numerous cruces. All of this is done with a legitimate consultation of
the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Among the findings from this
approach to the text that are advanced in this study are: the Eucharist
as Divine Presence and human Sacrifice, the two priesthoods of Jesus
Christ, earthly and heavenly; the two victimhoods of Jesus Christ
earthly and heavenly; the centrality of faith-trust in the lives of all
Christians; the role of God the Father in the institution of the
Eucharist and the founding of the Church; the role of Abraham's faith in
the life of Jesus Christ as human and in the life of all Christians; the
rite of the Eucharist as practiced in the Church in Rome before 70 A.D.
