What does the Letter to the Hebrews have to say to Christians today?
A compelling exhortation to hold true to the faith in the face of
adversity. A sermon rife with iconic imagery and Old Testament
allusions. A signal work of theology in the New Testament.
Above all, the Letter to the Hebrews proclaims the high priesthood of
Jesus Christ. But the book's textual complexity and long history of
interpretation can be overwhelming. In this new Pillar commentary,
Sigurd Grindheim illuminates the Letter to the Hebrews, paying careful
attention to linguistic features and historical context--all while
centering its relevance to modern readers.
Grindheim clearly and comprehensively addresses major issues about the
text, including authorship, date, canonicity, formal qualities, and
major themes. Following his thorough introduction, he explains each line
of the text and its significance for believers today. Grindheim's
commentary offers pastors, students, and scholars the clarity and fresh
insights they want in their scriptural study.
