About the Book
A commentary that shows how by one offering for sin forever, Christ our great High Priest has perfected forever those He has set apart for His glory and who come to God through Him. He is their advocate, their rest, their righteousness, their example, and their "exceeding great reward."Book Synopsis
The epistle to the Hebrews begins by unveiling the glory of Christ--the eternal Son of God who shares the everlasting throne of "the Majesty on high." It shows in entrancing detail how He descended from that throne to become a man, that He might rescue His people from death, judgment, and the power of sin. Here is a combination of careful scholarship and readability, along with apt illustrations. How does Christ rescue His people? By inaugurating a new covenant--"the new covenant in my blood"--replete with better promises, a better priesthood, a better sacrifice, and a better hope than had hitherto prevailed under the law of Moses. By one offering for sin forever, Christ our great High Priest has perfected forever those He has set apart for His glory and who come to God through Him. He is their advocate, their rest, their righteousness, their example, and their "exceeding great reward."
Review Quotes
"Professor Andrews has tackled the task of unraveling the twists and turns of Hebrews with obvious enthusiasm and equally obvious integrity. None of the "problem passages" is ignored, and none of the text is glossed over, while his careful scholarship is made accessible by the use of apt illustrations. Best of all, every page is full of Christ and the grace of God that brings salvation."
