Pastor Melissa Scott Ph.D
There is artwork in Ravenna, Italy and Chartres, France depicting Melchisedec, which shows they had an interest in him. The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature Vol. 6 provides various opinions of who is Melchisedec. It is more important to focus on what he represents than to identify him. Melchisedec did nothing to merit getting Abram’s tithe of the spoils, but Abram gave it to him as recognition of God’s person.
