About this eBook
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 full of 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. Yet readers may find this central theme difficult to discern, given the epistle’s complexity and long history of interpretation. In this Pillar commentary, Sigurd Grindheim richly illuminates the Letter to the Hebrews, explaining difficult texts, offering a coherent reading, and paying careful attention to linguistic features and historical context—all while focusing on its relevance to modern readers.
Grindheim clearly and comprehensively addresses major issues, including authorship, date, canonicity, formal qualities, and important 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.
