This paper explores the contribution that the book of Hebrews makes concerning the place of the Christian community as a resource for suffering Christians. It argues that the community of faith in Hebrews is the context in which struggling Christians are encouraged and supported to remain faithful, and where threats to perseverance are resisted. Bryan Dyer’s 2017 monograph, Suffering in the Face of Death, argues that the social context of the audience of Hebrews is suffering and the threat of death. The prominence of suffering as a theme in Hebrews has also been noted by other scholars such as N. Clayton Croy, Phillip A. Davis Jr, Charles H. Talbert, Timothy J. Bertolet, and Chad E. Spellman. Many commentaries on Hebrews note suffering as an important theme. The community is also an important context for Hebrews. For example, Matthew J. Marohl’s work utilises social identity theory to show how the author leverages the identity of the community to encourage faithfulness. However, although both suffering and community identity are discussed to varying degrees in Hebrews scholarship, there is a need for a more focused consideration of the implications of communal identity for suffering Christians in Hebrews. This paper explores some of the aspects of this community identity that the author uses to encourage faithfulness specifically in the context of suffering. The author frames the community as a place of encouragement (10:24–25) where faithfulness is modelled (6:12) and members identify with each other in suffering (10:32–34). The community is also a place where members are accountable for each other’s perseverance (3:12–13; 4:1, 11; 12:14–16; 13:17) and should be helping each other through difficult situations (12:12–13). The recipients of Hebrews are given a wider view of the scope of their community, encompassing the faithful saints who have gone before them (12:1) and the joyful congregation with which they are already gathered at the heavenly Jerusalem (12:22–24). Finally, the writer of Hebrews shows that the audience’s identification with Jesus, who endured faithfully when he suffered, underpins their communal experience of suffering (2:10–11; 12:2; 13:12–13). These perspectives on suffering in community show that the Christian community is a resource that enables and supports the faithful endurance of its members through suffering. It is also a place where members who are wavering in their perseverance should be challenged and encouraged to continue on despite the suffering they are experiencing. This was clearly an important message for the first audience of Hebrews, valued enough that the epistle was preserved and circulated. It is perhaps even more crucial for the Western church today, which is shaped by the hyper-individualism of our culture. In a context where increasingly Christians are questioning the necessity of belonging to a Christian community, the message of Hebrews about the place of community in perseverance and faithful endurance in suffering is highly relevant.
