Abeneazer G. Urga's book explores Jesus' heavenly intercession in the Epistle to the Hebrews, showing how the author relied on the LXX and New Testament texts to develop the motif of Jesus' high priestly intercession. He argues that Jesus' intercession is vocalis et realis, seeking help and forgiveness for God's people.

Recent scholarship on Hebrews has delved into various aspects of Christ's life, including his sacrifice, resurrection, atonement, and priesthood. While these discussions primarily focus on Jesus' pre-and-post-ascension mediatorial role, there has been limited attention paid to his present mediatorial task in heaven, specifically his intercession. In this insightful volume, Abeneazer G. Urga examines the background and nature of Jesus' heavenly intercession in the Epistle to the Hebrews. Urga demonstrates that the author of Hebrews has relied on the LXX (the Greek version of the Old Testament) and certain texts of the New Testament while remaining aware of the theme of intercession in Second Temple Literature. He further argues that Jesus' heavenly intercession is both vocalis et realis, meaning it involves both verbal expression and actual action. Moreover, Urga asserts that Jesus' intercession is undertaken to provide help and the forgiveness of sin for God's people during their times of need.

The author of Hebrews has primarily relied on the LXX and some texts of the New Testament, while remaining cognizant of the theme of intercession in Second Temple Literature, in the formulation of the motif of Jesus' high priestly intercession. Urga also argues that Jesus' heavenly intercession is vocalis et realis, and that his intercession is made in order to procure help and the forgiveness of sin for God's people in their time of need.
