Written for theologians and graduate students in New Testament studies, The Letter to the Hebrews: A New Commentary, exegetes the entire letter verse by verse, paying attention to relevant issues for theology and spiritual life. Most remarkably, it explains why this "letter" is really a homily written by a preacher who must have delivered it several times in different places, and it offers an eloquent interpretation of the Letter to the Hebrews as a Christological hymn celebrating the priesthood of Christ.
Highlights:
* A thorough commentary
* Written by the most renowned scholar
* On one of the favorite and yet most enigmatic books of the New Testament: the Letter to the Hebrews.
* It's not a "letter" at all-it's a homily.
